Tim Walz says he may run for president in 2028

Failed Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz has said that he may make a bid for president in 2028 after he and former Vice President Kamala Harris lost to President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.  

On Sunday, he hinted at the possibility during the "New Yorker Radio Hour," when he was pressed on the issue, “If I think I could offer something… I would certainly consider that,” when he was asked about running, per the Daily Mail. 

"I’m also, though, not arrogant enough to believe there’s a lot of people that can do this,” he added. He continued, saying that "if the circumstances are right” he may run for the office in 2028.

"I've always said this: I didn't prepare my life to be in these jobs, but my life prepared me well," Walz added. "And if this experience I've had and what we're going through right now prepares me for that, then I would."

Walz has been governor of Minnesota since 2019 and was picked by Harris as her running mate in the 2024 election. Harris herself has been rumored to be making another go for the White House that year, which could pit them against each other in the primaries.

During his run with Harris, Walz was slammed online for multiple repeated falsehoods about his military service, including his rank when he retired, the circumstances of leaving the military, as well as resurfaced claim in which he said he was in Hong Kong at the time of the Tiananmen Square Massacre when he was in the United States.

His relationship with China was also brought into question on the campaign trail.
