Tim Walz Reflects on Harris Campaign Missteps and 2024 Loss

The former vice-presidential candidate critiques the Democrats' cautious strategy and hints at a potential 2028 presidential run.

Tim Walz, Kamala Harris' 2024 running mate, criticized the campaign for playing it too safe and avoiding riskier voter engagement strategies.
Walz argued that the Democrats' 'prevent defense' approach left the campaign without momentum, as internal polling showed they were consistently behind.
Harris' campaign faced structural challenges, including a rushed timeline after President Biden dropped out and limited use of Walz as a public-facing figure.
Walz acknowledged personal missteps during the campaign and took responsibility for the Democratic loss, while also expressing frustration at being 'underutilized.'
The Minnesota Governor has not ruled out a 2028 presidential bid, stating his commitment to staying politically active to help the Democratic Party.
