Tim Walz says he and Harris were too ‘safe’ during 2024 presidential campaign
Former vice-presidential candidate claims pair should have held more in-person events around the US
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."

If you are not getting what I am getting at...
*insert Principal Skinner musing meme...
DNC: Am I not running on popular economic policies that would help alleviate the woes of young people deep in student debt; families living pay check to pay check; people saddled with hospital bills, and that's why we lost?
No, the electorate is misogynist. Latino and black voters are race traitors for voting Trump. And the white working class in Rust belt are hillbilly hicks who don't know what is better. And now let me look at my stocks if following Nancy Pelosi's portfolio is the right decision.
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.
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.
I can definitely dig that. i work with a lot of young folks who dont even know whats going on. its terrible
I repeat.
Yes I noticed. you just wrote essentially the same comment 5 times.
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.
