Tim Walz, the socialist vice presidential candidate in 2024 and Kamala Harris’ running mate, admitted in an interview over the weekend that he is “a little surprised” that he and Harris lost, following Donald’s landslide victory. Trump and the Republicans on November 5.
Walz immediately disappeared from the national stage after his presidential election drubbing alongside Harris, but he posted a strange video last Thursday night playing with a “little 22-year-old BMW E-series” in his frigid Minnesota garage.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz regretted for the first time losing the 2024 race in one of several interviews with local media last week, whose statements were reported by the New York Post this Monday.
“It seemed like at the rallies, at the events I went to, at the stores I went to, the momentum was in our favor, and obviously that wasn’t the case in the end,” Walz told KSTP.
“So yeah, I was a little surprised. I thought we had a positive message and I thought the country was ready for that.”
Walz seems to remain far from reality in the US
Walz’s assessment contrasts with that of several Harris campaign aides, who revealed in an interview on “Pod Save America” that internal poll numbers never showed her ahead of then-former President Donald J. Trump.
Walz, 60, also addressed criticism some Democrats made about his choice as Harris’ running mate over rising stars in the party like Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.
“History will write that,” he dodged when KSTP asked if Harris’s ticket helped or hurt him.
“It wasn’t my decision. It was the vice president’s decision,” he continued. “As I said in this campaign, when the question was asked, ‘Were there things I could have done differently?’ The answer is obviously yes. But I did the best I could.”
Walz did not reveal what exactly he intends to do at the end of his second term in Minnesota, including whether he will run for governor for the third time in a state without term limits.
“It’s too early to say,” Walz told Fox 9. “We’re focusing on an upcoming legislative session. “We’ll keep working on that and then I’ll decide from there.”
“I have never wanted to run for the Senate in Washington”
Walz added that he has never had a desire to run for the US Senate.
He also reflected on what he thinks Democrats will have to do differently to take back the White House and both Houses of Congress after such a resounding Republican victory.
“We have to understand the mood that people are in and understand where they are at,” Walz told WCCO. “I think the economic and other problems affected it quite a bit.”
“We are going to have to understand what type of leadership they want?” he questioned.
But it is not about leadership, it is about responsible management of the federal government and prosperity for the United States, without waste and without creating crises. A very different situation was faced by the administration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Perhaps the new Democrats still do not understand that “you cannot destroy a country through radical socialist agendas and then expect people to vote for those same agendas. Totally delusional,” political analysts considered after the election result.
Our country has been built on conservative values, which does not mean that there is no room for other political currents and ideologies within American democracy. but pretend destroy everything that smells conservative and take the reins of a country irresponsibly in immigration, law, national security; failed policies in the economy, transformation of education and society; and wars, that only guarantees you a great defeat in the United States, experts explain.
“We committed to being inclusive. We committed to attracting people (…) I guess for me it’s understanding and learning more about America, because I thought we were probably moving towards a more positive message,” he added.
