Minnesota Governor Tim Walz Open to 2028 Presidential Run

Walz, the 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate, says he would consider a presidential bid if he believes he has the right skills and opportunity.

Tim Walz, Minnesota's Democratic governor, stated in a New Yorker interview that he would consider running for president in 2028 if he feels he can serve effectively.
Walz emphasized he does not have ambitions for higher office but would step up if asked and if the circumstances align with his skill set.
He expressed lingering guilt over the Democrats' 2024 election loss with Kamala Harris, citing concerns over its impact on Medicaid and LGBTQ rights.
Walz ruled out a Senate run in Minnesota, stating he prefers to focus on his role as governor and potentially seek another term in office.
The governor criticized President Trump’s administration, calling it authoritarian, and raised concerns about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's views on women.
