Summary

Minnesota Governor and former VP candidate Tim Walz is launching a town hall tour in Republican-held districts where representatives have stopped holding public events.

Starting in Iowa and Nebraska, he plans stops in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Ohio. Walz says he wants to amplify voter concerns about the Trump administration and Republican policies.

He denies using the tour to prepare for a national run, instead framing it as a way to keep Democrats engaged post-election.

His team has received hundreds of invitations from local leaders.

    Sanders has been going on rampage and is as passionate as ever. We don’t need someone who “is a nice guy and follows the rules”, the rules are what’s getting broken, we need someone (man or woman) with some fucking BALLS. This is class warfare and we don’t have a ton of time left. Between AI and climate change we need to figure out shit out way sooner rather than later. Waltz seems like a fine guy, but come the fuck on, we don’t need a Midwestern nice dad, we need someone with some fire.

      Tim Walz has plenty of fire, people forget really quickly, I guess. The only reason that he wasn’t able to continue being spicy on the campaign trail was because of the clueless fucking DNC.

        He has got fucking conservative neo liberal dad hedge fund bro astro turfed out the ass energy. He has the wrong energy. The Democratic party needs to get out of the way and allow for true leftism instead of sabotaging anything that threatens their cash cow.
