Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz hinted at a potential run for president in 2028 in an interview with The New Yorker, expressing a willingness to serve if he believes he’s the right candidate. The governor, who gained national recognition during his vice presidential campaign last year, has a strong approval rating in Minnesota despite his unsuccessful bid. Walz has ruled out a Senate run in 2026, citing frustration with partisan gridlock in Washington and a preference for impacting change at the state level. He expressed concerns about President Trump appointing loyalists to his cabinet and the potential for authoritarianism in the government. Walz emphasized the importance of states as a “last firewall” against the Trump administration’s actions. Despite the disappointment of his campaign loss, Walz remains committed to ensuring democracy is upheld and prepared for any potential authoritarian moves by the administration. He is currently weighing whether to seek a third term as governor and will make a decision by this summer.
