Walz Energizes Democrats at South Carolina Convention
Columbia, SC — Minnesota Governor Tim Walz electrified delegates at the South Carolina Democratic state convention, highlighting his role as a pivotal figure in the party’s future after being selected as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate. Addressing attendees for over half an hour, Walz criticized former President Donald Trump, urging fellow Democrats to confront the “bully” in the White House more aggressively. “Maybe it’s time for us to be a little meaner,” he declared, eliciting applause as he labeled Trump a “cruel man.”
This event marked Walz’s third significant speech within 24 hours, following a fundraising dinner where he shared the stage with Maryland Governor Wes Moore. Both leaders tested their messages in front of loyal Democrats, reinforcing South Carolina’s critical role in the presidential primary process. Despite facing challenges in a state where Democrats haven’t won a statewide election in 20 years, Walz encouraged party members to maintain their spirit and resilience.
“Donald Trump is the existential threat that we knew was coming,” he acknowledged, while emphasizing the need for joy and courage in governance. His remarks resonate with ongoing debates within the party about strategic direction following the previous election results.
As speculation mounts about a potential presidential run in 2028, Walz has not confirmed his intentions but is keeping his options open. He has been actively reaching out to constituents in Republican strongholds, leveraging his travels to increase fundraising and engagement.
His appearances underscore not only his ambitions but also a growing urgency among Democrats to rally against GOP aggression ahead of the upcoming election cycles, as they reaffirm their commitment to issues of fairness, dignity, and opportunity for all.
