Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president last year, believes the campaign led by former Vice President Kamala Harris was overly cautious and should have taken more risks, he told Politico.

HELENA, Montana — Tim Walz thinks he and Kamala Harris played it too safe last year. He thinks they should have held more town halls. He thinks they didn’t have time to get their feet under them. And he thinks Democrats should have taken more risks and gone to more places.

Kamala Harris ’ former running mate has suggested he may run for U.S. president in 2028. Since the Democrats suffered a catastrophic election defeat in November, former Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her vice presidential pick, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, have retreated from frontline politics.

Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz has said he would “certainly consider” running for president in 2028 — despite his crushing defeat alongside then-Vice President Kamala Harris this past November.

Tim Walz, the Democratic vice-presidential nominee in 2024, says the party’s campaign strategy was too cautious and didn’t resonate with voters.
