I'm not convinced there will be an election in 2028...

The Harris campaign had to cover the governor’s tracks when he tripped up during a California fundraiser by stating that the constitutionally-mandated system used to select the president, otherwise known as the electoral college, “needs to go”.

How the hell is that a gaffe? It's both the truth and exactly what people want to hear. Any lib who thinks like that needs to kindly keep their mouths shut for the next four years. This country needs radical change, the only choice you get is which one you want.

Him calling the GOP weird was not a gaffe but the campaign made him walk away from that language because it might offend potential turncoats. The fact he is internalizing the criticism worries me.

Tim Walz unleashed would have won this.

He was hamstrug by Harris. He’s likely the dem’s best choice for 2028.

So of course they’ll run Newsome or Shapiro or Hillary Clinton again because they’re a bunch of idiots.

Give me AOC or Bernie.

No. Run AOC

Bold of him to assume there will be elections in 2028.

Fuckin should have been the nominee in the first place - him or Sanders.

Thinking there is going to be a real election in 2028 is the most optimistic thing I've heard in a while.

It's cute that he thinks there will be an election in 2028, or ever again, for that matter.

I’d vote for him, given that we’re still allowed to vote.

Personally, I'm hoping Zelensky will run for US president after strong Dien in Ukraine. You might be thinking that someone from another country can't be president. Well.... looks at current situation in White House At least this one would be elected.

Walz was great in 2024. He had enthusiasm and actually answered the interviewers' questions. I would have preferred the symbolic victory of a black woman president, but I like Walz better as an individual person. I think he could have won if he'd been the presidential candidate. Well, Harris won too, but I mean he could have won even with the voter suppression stealing all those democratic votes.

President Walz and Vice President Cortez is the future we need. But probably not the future we'll get.

It's cute that they think there's gonna be another election.

He's got some things going for him. Male. Presumably heterosexual. Caucasian. Old (but perhaps not quite old enough). I say go for it.

We could do (and have done) a lot worse. My only concern is whether or not he has the backbone to refuse to be steered to the right, the way Kamala was after the convention. His Midwestern politeness definitely didn't serve him well in the debate.

He was the better half of the ticket.

He can run for the primary, like everyone else...

"Run for president in 2028" XD That ship has sailed. I don't think they will have any more elections.

I'd vote for him but he'd need to ignore the consultants next time if he wants any hope of winning.

I'm feeling pretty certain the dems will run Buttigieg. Feels like they've been prepping him for a while.

I'm worried that despite having very good views himself that he is going to be tainted by the past. Not without reason too, because the consultants made him stand down with the "weird" insult and progressive messaging. Like most of these people, if it's not their authentic campaign, then whose is it? He's demonstrated, like most people who reach a moment in their career to seriously consider this, that he's too malleable for populist politics. It's possible that he completely sheds that team and runs his own, but who here really thinks that's going to happen? I'd believe it if we had AOC for VP. The pressure to succumb to inferior messaging is higher than it'll ever be during a presidential campaign, I don't really trust anyone to stay firm except AOC, Talib, and Bernie because they have demonstrated resistance in this sort of high pressure consultant environment.
