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.
So here’s the important bit, I know where you’re coming from on this as dems have been courting the right by watering down their policies in an attempt to appeal to them. That’s not what Walz is doing, much like Bernie, he’s preaching the progressive ideals to the right to try and show them how and why it would actually benefit them, along with attempting to dispel republican lies.
Also apologies on the tone of the original comment, I didn’t have enough time to explain and was just irritated.
No worries. I guess my point is that they’re overall such a small percent of the voting bloc. And what percentage of them could he sway? I’d be willing to bet not many at this point in time. Harris didn’t lose because Republicans didn’t vote for her, she lost because everyone else didn’t vote for her.
