“These are challenging times for Tim Walz, the unsuccessful 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“The two-term Minnesota governor campaigned on the national ticket for just 91 days, but that was enough to turn off some home-state voters. A poll this summer by the Minnesota Star Tribune found Walz’s approval rating dropped to 49%—only the second time it had fallen below 50% in the survey—and about half of the state’s registered voters said he shouldn’t seek a third term in 2026.”
“Men—whom Walz was supposed to help draw to the Democratic ticket because of his experience as a high-school football coach and hunter—were especially disapproving and skeptical of him running for governor again after appearing alongside former Vice President Kamala Harris in her failed White House bid.”
