Failed 2024 Democratic vice -president candidate and current Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz Recently, a potential presidential run of 2028, which earned online spot products while critics begged him sarcastically to throw in his hat.
Laughing emojis and comments such as “Need a Morning Chinny” or “JA please” were splashed over conservative social media accounts after Walz had driven a potential presidential run of 2028 during a recent conversation with the New Yorker.
In addition to former vice -president Kamala Harris, Walz ran on the ticket of the Democrats in the decreasing months of the election cycle After the former President Joe Biden had left the race in the midst of increasing concern about his mental sharpness and age.
Walz first striped when he was asked if he would run for President during the New Yorker interview that was published on Sunday before he said he would run if the opportunity would present himself.

“Well, I had a friend who tells me:” Never off a job that you haven’t offered yet, “said Walz when he was asked if he would run for President.
“If I think I could offer something … I would definitely consider that,” he said. “But I am not arrogant enough to believe that there are many people who can do this.”
He said that under the right circumstances and if he has the right “skills” for the 2028 race, “I’ll do it.”
“Maybe you’re doing it?” Asked the New Yorker.
“I will do what is needed,” said Walz. “I would certainly not be arrogant enough to think I should be.”

“I always said this: I have not prepared my life to be in these jobs, but my life has prepared me well,” he said. “And, if this experience I have had and what we are going through now, I would prepare for that. But I am worried about people who have an ambition for a chosen office. I don’t think you should have ambition. I think you should have the desire to do it if you are asked. And that is a kind of where I am.”
Social media critics had a field day on X about the comments, which ran the name “Tampon Tim”, which mocked the prospect of a Walz presidency, while encouraging him to make a run officially.
“Tampon Tim” was a nickname used by Conservatives during the election cycle that the Minnesota policy of Walz splashes that menstrual products delivers “to all menstruating students in toilets that were regularly used by students,” instead of saying that the products were intended for female students.

After the exit of Biden from the 2024 race in July, Harris simultaneously launched her campaign, as well as her search for an ongoing partner, with a list of high -profile Democrats and lesser -known allies before he chose Walz.
Following the loss of the Democratic ticket, political strategists and insiders launched post-mortems on the campaign, with a handful pointing to Harris’s selection of Walz as her current partner in contrast to another candidate, such as Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who is popular in the most important battlefield state that ultimately voted for the president Donald Trump.

“I do my job, and She’s doing her jobAnd she is out in California, I believe, live, and I am here in beautiful Minnesota, where the weather is always great, “he said.

“Well, maybe she doesn’t want to talk to me after we did this thing,” said Walz, laughing when he was asked why they don’t speak more often. “No, I think it’s just a time and a place. But we are well omitted and my family misses her. Especially my daughter.”
