Would Tim Walz run for President in 2028? If the circumstances are right, and he has the right “skill set” for the moment, “I’ll do it,” Walz told David Remnick.

Maybe it’s time to start campaigning early—get Democrats out there explaining how they'd do things differently. The most exciting part of the last cycle was when everyone was scrambling for the VP spot.
yes, Dems seem to have no analysis or plan for change. They seem to think, again,the madness of f47 will lose the elections and they can just do their right of centre business as usual.
Well, he is only 62 and 66 in 2028. We the People just elected a 79 years old so age must not be an issue. His career as a military NCO, Congress and Governor makes his resume complete plus his personality and compromise with our Constitution makes him a good candidate.🇺🇸
This is the same thing as Merrick Garland being appointed Attorney General because he didn’t become a justice in the Supreme Court. How did that turn out?
Sorry, he is a nice guy, but not the right candidate. We need a younger, super charismatic, smart, fiery, energetic, well-spoken candidate. No more gray-haired white guys! And someone fresh and new!!!
I really like Waltz- but the Dems need fresh faces and new ideas… the Harris campaign is tied to the old ways and The Biden administration- again- not against Joe or the old guard… Tim can serve in the cabinet, Bernie too- but we need someone new to lead us out of this quagmire.
2028 is vitally important NOW. It's when (hopefully) the Repubicans will be thrown out of office. NOW is the time to be discussing who'll be the Dem ticket in three years. 🙄
People can deal with more than one thing at a time.
And they can't be "stopped" now.
They're in office until 2028 at the least, and NOTHING is going to change that.
Governors are the 1 role in government best suited to fighting back now. A good strategy for that is for someone like Walz or Pritzker to identify themselves as the standout 2028 candidate early & to be the voice constantly clapping back at the administration, with support from other Dem Governors
DOGE and Trump now have access to everything. My worry as a Canadian is that they will steal elections. Creating voter suppression. They already have a Project 2028. A flag depicting an image of Trump looking like Caesar who destroyed Rome. Trump wants to stay in power.
Yes, it's probably inevitable Trump will run again. There's debate on whether the two CONSECUTIVE terms proviso could allow that.
The way the Democrats are working now, Trump will win again.
As for a stolen election, there's no viable proof that any US one has been. I believe 2028 will be secure.
Depends on primaries who they choose, if any possible way AOC is there that is my hope. Walz though wouldn't be a bad choice but I don't know a lot about him, his views on Israel - Gaza, trade wars, immigration I like to know more.
You guys have not paid enough attention. Trump is going to try to stay like Putin; with Elon rigging the elections. He is not going to leave; hince the reason he wants the Loyalist. He wants the Loyalist to stay put when is time to move out.
I’m OK with that. Just seen enough of old white dudes running the show. Like giving Rep Connolly Ranking Member for Oversight when we have AOC who is the Dems’ most effective messenger wanting the post. Rep Connolly is in meetings telling MTG not to use slurs. MTG is trying to be offensive man 🙄
I think we need someone as crazy and forceful as those attention grabbing Trumpublicans. Just fighting for truth and Americans instead of wealth, greed and power.
No no no. He seems like a really nice guy, but I don’t think he has the “it thing” needed for a presidential contender. Pete Buttigieg is extremely knowledgeable, organized, well spoken, and charismatic. If we are ever allowed another election, Pete Buttigieg should be the one on the ballot.
Hard pass, great person, too soft for what’s required of candidates. His debate performance was wretched and succeeded in making Vance seem likable and reasonable
Why are you talking about this shit now? I mean nice guy and probably bright but Dems have a QUALIFIED WOMAN they should support and the world clearly doesn’t need more guys. Especially America. The US is tanking, Dem leadership spills are irrelevant now.
... lol ... if he needs to be "asked nicely " he's not fit for the job. I say this as a lifelong proud democrat! Someone running for president of, by and for the good people of this great republic has to believe he/she is destined to help this great experiment move forward. Not need to be begged!
Sure, maybe Walz but The Democratic Party's mistake is weighing in on a candidate without the real input from the American people (H. Clinton, Biden 2025, Harris). Party leadership must stay out of the choice - no backing candidates in advance.
Well, we have to start making considerations now. He'd be a good president, but we need someone much stronger to win the election. Someone to really overwhelm the MAGA core
I think we should look outside the Democratic establishment. They have not been transparent, democratic, or committed to human rights and their performance reflects that.
Essentially any normal adult approximately 35-65 who holds down a regular ass job and has no significant criminal history or connection to corporate PAC money would be an improvement imo.

You lost. It's not a hint.
Just don't start with texts for $$$ 😂
Can the country hold on to an actual election season and actual VOTING nationwide?
And they can't be "stopped" now.
They're in office until 2028 at the least, and NOTHING is going to change that.
They just move from one headline to another, they are idiots looking for clicks.

Also, FUCK YOU.

Talk about a MAGA landslide victory in 2028!
❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️
But...If the democrats don't win the midterms and take back congress, we'll be lucky if we have a (fair) 2028 election.
Let's have a primary this time.
