Summary

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has criticized the Harris-Walz 2024 presidential campaign for playing it too “safe,” saying they should have held more in-person events and town halls.

In a Politico interview, Walz—known for labeling Trump and Vance as “weird”—blamed their cautious approach partly on the abbreviated 107-day campaign timeline after Harris became the nominee in August.

Using football terminology, he said Democrats were in a “prevent defense” when “we never had anything to lose, because I don’t think we were ever ahead.”

While acknowledging his share of responsibility for the loss, Walz is returning to the national spotlight and didn’t rule out a 2028 presidential run, saying, “I’m not saying no.”

    the dnc has never run on that. not in a long time. they are moderates, literally almost conservative.

    this is known.

    it was because it was a woman. I repeat. america is too immature to be lead by a woman.

        well I apologize and I respect your opinion, I just completely disagree. I don’t want to make this a inflammatory conversation. I just dislike seeing people blame democrats for losing to a literal felon.

      Peak irony given that people like you whinging about identity bullshit instead of advocating for popular policies are exactly why she lost.

        I dont think anyone who voted for trump was looking at his policies. (project 2025)

        I seem to recall some interviews where they bring up those policies they are implementing before telling them who was enacting them. they immediately switched support once they found out it was from trump. But I do respect your opinion and am not trying to be inflammatory. I just completely disagree.

          I don’t disagree, Trump supporters are either wealthy or uninformed. I’m talking about the moderates/leftists who stayed home.
