Tim Walz Considers 2028 Presidential Run After 2024 Loss

The Minnesota governor reflects on the Democrats' 2024 defeat and his potential future in national politics.

Tim Walz, Minnesota governor and 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate, says he may run for president in 2028 if he believes he can contribute meaningfully.
Walz emphasized that his decision would depend on the circumstances and whether he possesses the right skill set for the moment.
He expressed guilt over the Democrats' 2024 loss to Donald Trump, citing concerns about the impacts on Medicaid and LGBTQ rights.
Walz described his relationship with former running mate Kamala Harris as professional, noting they have only spoken a few times since the election.
While ruling out a U.S. Senate run, Walz highlighted his focus on serving as governor and protecting state-level governance against federal overreach.
