TIM WALZ AND THE BORDER CRISIS THAT WOULD STILL BE A CRISIS. You might not have noticed, but Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), the losing 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee, is on a national tour. He is holding town halls in congressional districts won by President Donald Trump in Iowa, Texas, Ohio, Wisconsin, and more. Any time a national political figure schedules a visit to Iowa, there is speculation that he or she is going to run for president. But Tim Walz? Really?

Walz told CNN Sunday that while he is considering a run for a third term as governor in 2026, “I am not thinking about running in 2028.” Parse that any way you like.
