‘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.

    What do you think the R’s did wrong this last cycle?

    Same thing the Democrats did wrong. Moved to the right. The difference is that their base likes it.

      But they didn’t win, so if their base liked it, why didn’t it result in a win? I think you understand what I’m saying. There is no black and white, only grey.

        Ok, you’ve chosen to deliberately misunderstand what I said in absolute bad faith. I should have expected nothing else.

        Republicans’ base likes it when republicans move to the right. Only centrist democrats like it when democrats move to the right. Now misunderstand this on purpose as well.
