Tim Walz, the Minnesota governor, recently embarked on a tour of Ohio to engage with local communities, reflecting Democrats' ongoing struggle in the post-2024 landscape. While grappling with the aftermath of the last elections and the Trump administration's return, Walz seeks to revitalize party resistance and grassroots support. Through his engagements, including labor discussions and town hall meetings, he appears eager to reconnect with constituents, simultaneously addressing critiques of his and Kamala Harris's lost campaign, which he acknowledges openly.
"I own it," Walz told me, referring to the inevitable critiques that have followed his and Harris's defeat.
Walz is still trying to process the insanity of last summer and fall, the earthquake of Election Night 2024, and the horrors that have spiraled out since then.
He is figuring things out as he goes but feels itchy to help jump-start the second Donald Trump resistance.
Walz refers to his delirious vice-presidential campaign as his '90-day Eras Tour,' a good line but an imperfect metaphor.
