Would have wanted him as president nominee either way, hope he gets it. The name Tim Walz is a name that needs to go down in history with the title "saviour of the US" or smth like that
That's a lot of pressure to put on one man...
He can't save us any more than Obama could.
He might be better than Obama (might) but we have to save ourselves.
"Run for president in 2028" XD That ship has sailed. I don't think they will have any more elections.
Even North Korea has elections. They might not be fair but they will be held.
I guess I’m the only one against this idea. I’m not keen on candidates that have already lost running again. Get someone else up there to try.
I'm nervous to hear this already. I want him to be pushed into it, not to want it so much.
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?
No sooner than he mentions that he might run to the right wing attacks on his age begin.
I'd like someone younger too but let's take the candidates we can eh? Dude's compassionate and far left for a dam at the moment.
And I'm sure he'll choose a young running mate (AOC maybe? Though I'd hate to see her leave Congress for such a powerless position).
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?
Walz will be a perfectly normal age to run for president.
Age isnt always an indicator on how people are mentally, and if they are a backwards prick
Please do it
Walz is likable and has that working class appeal, but his debate performance wasn't great. I'd vote for him, but I don't think he'll make it through the primaries. I'd much rather have Pete Buttigieg personally.
As a gay man, there's 0 hope of a gay man winning in America. Full stop.
We know that female candidates with male VP's named Tim don't win against Republicans. Hillary and Kamala proved that. But this is wholly different, so its possible, concievable...
It's cute that they think there's gonna be another election.
Tim Walz unleashed would have won this.
He was hamstrug by Harris. He’s likely the dem’s best choice for 2028.
So of course they’ll run Newsome or Shapiro or Hillary Clinton again because they’re a bunch of idiots.
Running Hillary again
The fact that this is somewhat believable is so stupid
