Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has indicated his openness to a potential presidential run in 2028. Walz remarked, “If I feel like I can serve, I will,” while acknowledging that, “If, nationally, people are like, ‘Dude, we tried you and look how that worked out,’ I’m good with that.”
When addressed directly about a future presidential bid, Walz highlighted a piece of advice from a friend: “Never turn down a job you haven’t been offered.” Walz mentioned that he would consider running if he believes he possesses something valuable to contribute. “I’m also, though, not arrogant enough to believe there’s a lot of people that can do this.”
The Democrats and their media allies pitched Walz to the public as a moderate “Midwestern Dad” and veteran in 2024, opening to soften leading candidate Kamala Harris’s history of radical left politics on immigration and transgenderism. One popular left-wing commentator went so far as to describe him as “the first white male DEI hire.”
However, it soon became apparent that Walz has a track record as radical as Harris’s, overseeing the installation of tampons in boys’ restrooms in Minnesota schools as Governor and praising Chinese communism as a system where “everyone shares” and “everyone is the same.” His record in the National Guard also came under scrutiny, with his claims to have carried weapons “in war” during an anti-war speech proven false and former comrades branding him a “coward” and a “deserter” as well as a “habitual liar.”
One prominent Democrat activist to back Walz, 60, as “the future” of the party is anti-gun campaigner David Hogg. Walz, in turn, has endorsed Hogg for Democratic National Committee (DNC) vice chair.
