Summary
Tim Walz held a town hall in Minnesota as part of a national tour, reflecting on Democrats’ 2024 loss and rallying support for progressive causes.
Walz framed the tour as part brand redemption, part Democratic catharsis, and part rally, while hinting at a potential 2028 presidential run.
He criticized Republicans and billionaires like Elon Musk, saying, “They chose the billionaire. We gotta do better.”
He proposed creating a “shadow cabinet” to challenge GOP policies and advocated for protecting social programs and trans rights.
Walz acknowledged the need for stronger messaging to counter Trump’s influence, emphasizing healthcare and social security as key issues.
We gotta fight fire with fire. Avoiding potentially “dangerous rhetoric” is part of what got us here, we need to tell it like it is and start referring to things as “common sense” because that will reach the majority of Americans.
