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.

    When AIPAC has thrown its weight into a race to try to unseat a Democrat, they mostly haven’t used “Israel” to do it. If the Israel vote was actually a critical voting bloc that would sink campaigns, you’d think that would feature front and center.

      The Israel vote definitely exists and the Israel lobby can make or break almost any political career.

      This is my comment which almost lines up perfectly with the article you posted.

        That’s not the “Israel vote”, that’s the Israel lobby. And the Israel lobby has the money to attack a vulnerable representative, not the money to swing a presidential race. They failed to oust Omar and didn’t even try to oust AOC. They’re an enemy PAC, not god of elections.

        Money you can get around. Voting constituencies you can’t.
