Summary
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’ 2024 running mate, has suggested he may run for president in 2028.
Reflecting on the Democrats’ loss to Donald Trump and JD Vance, he admitted: “A large number of people did not believe we were fighting for them in the last election – and that’s the big disconnect.”
Walz said his life experience, rather than ambition, would guide his decision.
Though his VP campaign was marred by gaffes, he remains open to running if he feels prepared.
Idk who needs to hear this, but Tim Walz is pretty moderate and centrist. You’re not going to unite the splintered left with Tim Walz.
The biggest barrier Democrats have is that left leaning voters are not going out and voting for them.
I have not much clue about american names except the most popular but what about running with Bernie or AOC as VP?
Bernie generally runs in the Primaries but so far has not won a primary, I’m honestly not sure if a presidential candidate can run as a VP after losing the primary, but it’s whoever wins sole discretion who they choose as their VP so AOC is definitely an option.
Something else to keep in mind is that a congressman who wins Presidency has to leave their seat in congress, which means blue -1 for either senate or house at least until the vacancy gets filled and at most until they win that district again.
Thanks for the explanation but specially for this
A very important thing to take into account.

To me the left is a collection of policy stances:
So the vast majority of the DNC and especially their presidential candidates check every box and these stances poll at like 60-90%. Generally more states follow this creed than not, such as California, but some things like healthcare are a little too complicated to do for a single state but the best states are blue such as Hawaii.
If 60-90% back the stance but not the party which holds it then you don’t have a problematoc party you have an information problem and an intelligence problem.
