‘If the circumstances are right, in 2028...I’ll do it,’ the former Democrat VP hopeful said

Summary

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’ 2024 running mate, has suggested he may run for president in 2028.

Reflecting on the Democrats’ loss to Donald Trump and JD Vance, he admitted: “A large number of people did not believe we were fighting for them in the last election – and that’s the big disconnect.”

Walz said his life experience, rather than ambition, would guide his decision.

Though his VP campaign was marred by gaffes, he remains open to running if he feels prepared.

    For wast majority of Americans capitalist Harris is actually rapid communist comrade Harris.

    You don’t seem like you really have a grasp on US politics.

      If we look into who holds all the power, I kind of do actually. If your metric is whatever you read on Lemmy, then yeah, Americans are all very progressive and cool and gay. But 75% of them chose Trump, so it might be that they aren’t cool at all, and it’s just vocal minority in a particular bubble.

        Yeah, you’re still wildly uniformed. Trump got voted in with less than 50% of the vote from something in the vicinity of a third of eligible voters.

          That’s my point. 50% of third of eligible voters voted against fascism. Everyone else either actively voted for, or passively voted for by not participating, which is just as bad.

            That’s just not how you count votes. It wouldn’t be an overwhelming rejection of fascism if 1% more voted for Harris.

            And you still didn’t even get the number right, which kind of reinforces how you never actually knew the proportion.

              That’s how you count supporters. If a person of voting age in 2024 looked into whatever is happening and decided that they don’t care if Trump wins, they are firmly in the camp of the enablers, and they are just as guilty as those who actively voted for.
              I don’t know where you got your numbers, I don’t care and it doesn’t matter. 25% is the most cheritable number if we assume half of the eligible population voted. There is no open and easily available statistics on that, so it’s all estimations. If yours is correct, the numbers are even worse, so I don’t know why you’re insisting on that, but that’s again doesn’t matter.
