Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is happily admitting that Vice President Kamala Harris brought him into her campaign to “code talk to white guys.”
As the failed vice presidential candidate continues his self-described “listening tour” at a Harvard Kennedy School forum on Monday, he revealed that he was essentially chosen to sell Harris’s agenda to stereotypical white people.
He explained that he was chosen because “I could code talk to white guys watching football, fixing their truck,” which would “put them at ease.” He even described himself as a “permission structure” for white folks in the country to vote Democrat in the 2024 election.
“I think I’ll give you pretty good stuff, but I’ll also give you 10% problematic,” he said when asked why he didn’t take that message to cable news media by ABC News national political reporter Brittany Shepherd.
Earlier in April, Walz laid out his potential political aspirations to Jake Tapper by dismissing any talk that he is planning to make another play for the White House. He is, however, considering another gubernatorial run.
“I think we need to collectively run a presidential campaign without a candidate right now that builds all the infrastructure … by the time we get to 2028, we’re ready.”
X users weighed in on Walz’s obvious admission:
This is not how normal politicians talk about voters.

Could Walz “decode” Supermarket Price Control for me?
I already understand the football and truck repair.— Woodskiff16 (@woodskiff16) April 30, 2025
And we wonder why Democrats lose elections.

Hahaha! Walz was a DEI pick – his race/skin color over merit and ability.
