Why Tim Walz and Kamala Harris Don't Talk Much Anymore
Newsweek ^ | 3/3/2025 | Katherine Fung

Posted on 03/04/2025 9:21:04 AM PST by simpson96

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz doesn't talk much to Vice President Kamala Harris these days.

The governor and his former running mate have spoken only "a couple times" since November's election, Walz revealed to The New Yorker's David Remnick in an interview published Sunday.

Asked why the pair didn't call or text more frequently, the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee joked to Remnick, "Well, maybe she doesn't want to talk to me after we got this thing done." He added that they left in a "good place" and that his daughter Hope missed her greatly.

(snip)

"I'm doing my job, and she's doing her job, and she's out in California, I believe, living, and I'm here in beautiful Minnesota, where the weather's always great," Walz said.

The governor added that "there'll be a time and a place" for the two to speak again and that his family "misses" Harris.

"My daughter, especially," he said.

During the interview, Walz suggested that an earlier exit from Biden wouldn't have changed the outcome of the election.

"Was there somebody else out there?" he asked. "I think we keep looking for this charismatic leader that was going to rise and lead us out of this. I don't think it works that way. I think, as a party, we just need to do a better job of connecting."

(snip)

Although Walz ruled out returning to Congress—he told Remnick he'd rather "eat glass" than return to the Capitol—the governor would "certainly consider" running for president if he thought he could "offer something."

Their friendship is so close that they just read each other’s minds and they don’t need to talk.

Just like an old couple.

Tim Walz might run in the 2028 primaries?

Does he have a base of support among knucklehead voters? Did he dazzle people so much in this last election, that people see him as a future president?

Why would they? Thrown together into a short campaign doesn’t mean that they became close and bonded into a lifelong friendship or political relationship.

President Trump almost won Minnesota. No effort was invested there. A couple of back to back rallies might have tipped the state. It was certainly doable. Most of the counties in Minnesota are red.

I remain amazed that the Dems managed to run someone for VP even more goofy, more weird, than Tim Kaine.

“Minnesota, where the weather’s always great”
Makes you wonder if Walz has ever even been to MN.
Maybe 2-3 good months a year if you are lucky

They don’t talk because he’s grown weary of her second grade level word salad . . .

Me too.

I remember rumors that a few other prominent Democrats, turned down offers of being Kamala’s running mate. So this guy was not her first choice, and we can see why

He has the support of the entire nation of Somalia most of whom now reside in Minnesota thanks to the Turd (otherwise known as Obama) who opened the floodgates to importation of unamerican values and unassimilated immigrants from one of the worst third world shitholes. What makes a third world shithole a third world shithole? is it the climate and geography? No it isn't. Rhodesia was a decent place until it was taken over by the natives and now it's a disaster. So what makes a third world shithole a shithole? Obviously the people who live there. SO import shithole people viola instant shithole.

There’s a good “We can’t undo what has been” somewhere in this but I won’t even try to come up with it.
