Tim Walz becomes Democratic leaders' biggest critic to remake himself

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) has begun rebranding himself as the Democratic Party’s top critic, with a 2028 presidential run on the table.

After his failed bid as former Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate in 2024, Walz has sought to remain in the national spotlight by criticizing his party. After briefly stepping out of public view following his 2024 loss, Walz has undertaken a media blitz to regain national attention.
