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.
We don’t have the evidence really but I think the “rigging” has mostly been in the form of disenfranchisement – making it hard for those most likely to vote Democratic. If we can flip the tables and get rural, traditionally Republican, counties to go blue then I don’t think the GOP is prepared to counter that.
He literally admitted a few days ago on video.
