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.

    Yay back to the same old same old likeable candidate who will do the same old same old things that will eventually allow for another Trump. Rinse and repeat…

      I’m not sure I agree if you look at the early campaign when he first joined he was very much not doing the same old same old… for like 2 weeks.

      Then Harris decided to go full corporatism and muzzled him. I’m not sure he’s right to run, but I’d trust him way more than most other dems.

      That’s more time for the lazy Americans to organise and have a communist revolution. That’s the goal. Delay fascism until the workers get their act together.

        Americans will never revolt. Period. They’ll change their pfp and hashtag and protest peacefully, but will never do what’s necessary to ensure a fair and meaningful existence for us all.

          Okay, so you’re saying a socialist USA is entirely impossible.

          Then isn’t a neoliberal USA better than a Nazi USA? Just for 4 years? Isn’t 4 years of bad better than 4 years of awful?
