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.
Oh yes, please, older people, maybe I’ll have my late great grandma run a campaign for the democrats from her grave.
Edit: not that I prefer a republican after trump. I’m certainly not far right. But I’m tired of seeing running leaders being this old. Can you americans get AOC to run for once?
wha? I thought it was known that walz was actually pretty young (60) compared to how he looks lol. Definitely on the older side of average age for president looking at the stats, but he’s 2 years younger than jon stewart and even gavin newsom is 57.
The last Democrat to win the presidency was 47. Makes ya think.
Edit: the year is 2018, right?
Biden wasn’t 47 in 2020.
Damn, I’m so addled that I’m living in pre covid times.
Time sort of lost all meaning for a while there.
Do you actually think a woman has a chance? The US is very, VERY quickly trending to be as misogynistic as the middle east.
Remember what happened last 2 times when you Americans tried to make a woman president.
Walz will be a perfectly normal age to run for president.
