‘If the circumstances are right, in 2028...I’ll do it,’ the former Democrat VP hopeful said

Summary

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’ 2024 running mate, has suggested he may run for president in 2028.

Reflecting on the Democrats’ loss to Donald Trump and JD Vance, he admitted: “A large number of people did not believe we were fighting for them in the last election – and that’s the big disconnect.”

Walz said his life experience, rather than ambition, would guide his decision.

Though his VP campaign was marred by gaffes, he remains open to running if he feels prepared.

    Kind of ruins the point if it’s just worthless to do.

    My vote and other voters like me made the point to the DNC that if they ignore the will of a large enough segment of their base, they will absolutely lose the election. If everyone thought like you did, the DNC would completely ignore the entirety of their base. They clearly operate from a completely amoral calculation these days. They dont care about much of anything. Not law, not human dignity. Nothing.

      does the DNC even know what the protest vote numbers are? And even if they did, how does anybody know whether or not they’re even significant.

      If everyone thought like you did, the DNC would completely ignore the entirety of their base.

      ??? ok.

      They clearly operate from a completely amoral calculation these days. They dont care about much of anything. Not law, not human dignity. Nothing.

      Not even a little bit of any of these things? Not a single percentage point of ANY of these things? AT ALL?
