Everyone is saying the same thing after Tim Walz says he's ready to run for president in 2028
UK Daily Mail ^ | 03/02/2025 | Melissa Koenig

The American people laughed off the idea of failed Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz taking over the Oval Office after he suggested he might run for president in 2028.

The 60-year-old Minnesota governor did not rule out the idea of taking on Republicans in the next presidential election when pressed by the New Yorker.

'Look I never had an ambition to be President or Vice President. I was honored to be asked,' he said.

'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.'

When the politician was then asked point-blank whether he would ever run for president, he replied: '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.'

He then explained that if the circumstances are right in 2028 and he has the right 'skill set' for the moment, 'I'll do it.'

'I'll do whatever it takes. I certainly wouldn't be arrogant enough to think that it needs to be me.

'I've always said this: I didn't prepare my life to be in these jobs, but my life prepared me well.

'And if this experience I've had and what we're going through right now prepares me for that, then I would.

'But I worry about people who have ambition for elected office. I don't think you should have ambition. I think you should have a desire to do it if you're asked to serve. And that's kind of where I'm at.'

MN politicians have always had a blind spot.
They think the MN media combined with MPR represents the entire USA because its ALL they listen to.

Absolutely Timmy should run. And he should select Gov. Janet Mills of Maine to be his running mate.

But many on the social media platform found the idea of Walz running for president embarrassing as well.

Many online laughed at the notion of Walz running for the nation's highest office

'Ah good ole' Tampon Tim' Lt. Col. Reagan wrote, including a series of laughing emojis, referring to a controversy about providing tampons in high school bathrooms.

'That would be hilarious,' another X user wrote. A former Major League Baseball athletic trainer shared a gif of men laughing.

A fourth X user who identified himself as an 'abundance liberal,' simply wrote 'no' at the prospect of Walz running for the nation's highest office.

Chris Falcinelli, who identified himself as a Democrat, also offered a blunt take.

'As a Democrat, I can’t begin to express how unexciting a prospect this is,' he wrote.

Walz's run for vice president was marred by allegations that he had a relationship with the daughter of a high-ranking Chinese Communist Party official, which critics claimed showed he was compromised by the authoritarian regime.

Tim should pick Princess Liz Warren as his running mate. Their actions on stage would look like synchronized swimming.
