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.
This is the right move.
If they won’t face their constituents, get someone up there to face them and meet the people where they are to get some change in motion.
As a Minnesotan, I’m worried this will alienate him from the state constituency and we’ll lose him (and then he’ll lose the presidential election cause Minnesota luck)
