Summary
Tim Walz held a town hall in Minnesota as part of a national tour, reflecting on Democratsā 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, āThey chose the billionaire. We gotta do better.ā
He proposed creating a āshadow cabinetā to challenge GOP policies and advocated for protecting social programs and trans rights.
Walz acknowledged the need for stronger messaging to counter Trumpās influence, emphasizing healthcare and social security as key issues.
We gotta fight fire with fire. Avoiding potentially ādangerous rhetoricā is part of what got us here, we need to tell it like it is and start referring to things as ācommon senseā because that will reach the majority of Americans.
