Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota has re-entered national politics by hosting a town hall in Iowa, where he highlighted the Democratic Party's disconnect with rural and working-class voters. Walz criticized Democratic campaign strategies and emphasized the need for more effective governance and impactful legislation. His appearances in several states indicate he may be considering a presidential run in 2028. Before making this decision, however, he must decide whether to seek a third term as governor in Minnesota as the Democratic primary remains competitive.
Millions of people stayed home because they didn't think there was any difference between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris and myself on the ticket, Mr. Walz said.
I think one of the reasons is that when Democrats have been in power, we've been timid about passing things that make a difference.
Mr. Walz expressed sadness over Democrats' struggles with rural and working-class voters, blasted President Trump's cuts to the federal government.
The trip to Iowa was the latest sign that Mr. Walz might be contemplating a run for the presidency in 2028.
