Please, please, please! Tim Walz hints to running for president. What a gift that would be!

March 3, 2025 | | Print Article

Early talk of a potential Democratic Party presidential contender for 2028 had many on the right emphatically supporting the idea with a “Please!”

Rather than come to grips with the platform positions and Biden-Harris administration policies that had motivated voters across the country to elect President Donald Trump for a second term, test balloons and strategizing are at play. Of course, it isn’t just former Vice President Kamala Harris that is being floated as a possible future candidate, as her running mate Minnesota Gov. “Tampon” Tim Walz has recently been pressed on future plans.

“Look, I never had an ambition to be President or Vice-President. I was honored to be asked,” he told The New Yorker under the headline, “Tim Walz Might Run for President in 2028 if You Ask Him Nicely.”

“If I feel like I can serve, I will. And if nationally, people are, like, ‘Dude, we tried you, and look how that worked out,’ I’m good with that,” the governor explained to David Remnick, adding, “Well, I had a friend tell me, ‘Never turn down a job you haven’t been offered.'”

“If I think I could offer something…I would certainly consider that. I’m also, though, not arrogant enough to believe there’s a lot of people that can do this,” said Walz, as many were already laughing as they expressed, “Yes, please!”

Having reportedly declined a potential bid to seek retiring Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith’s (D) seat in 2026, instead exploring a third term, reactions to the flirtation with a future campaign didn’t sell the governor nearly as short as he sold himself on his potential to “offer something.”

In fact, they were more than happy to remind Walz about what he had contributed, not only during his tenure as the executive of the North Star State where he advanced gender ideology, but also the “weird” energy that he himself had brought to the campaign trail.

From jazz hands and high kicks, there was so much more to “Coach” Walz than merely allegations of stolen valor and his peculiar pronouncement of being friends with school shooters.

Furthermore, as Vice President J.D. Vance has thus far proven himself more than a warm body like many of his predecessors, offering up powerful statements on the world stage regarding foreign policy, faith and more, the likelihood of him being the Republican presidential nominee for 2028 has some salivating at the potential of a debate rematch and what memes may come.

Among Walz’s greatest accomplishments in the wake of the sweeping loss with Harris to Trump and Vance, he joined the chorus of talking heads accusing Elon Musk of doing a “Nazi salute” during a speech on Inauguration Day and added to the echo chamber of leftist leaders prostrating themselves to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after the foreign official’s disrespectful antics at the White House.

“Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy. Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine,” wrote Walz on X as his own “leadership” was brought into question, having let “mostly peaceful protesters” take over Minneapolis after George Floyd died in police custody in 2020.
