Tim Walz says he may run for president in 2028 — despite failure of Harris campaign

By Isabel Keane | New York Post Failed 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz has said he would “certainly consider” running for president in 2028 — despite his crushing defeat alongside then-Vice President Kamala Harris this past November. “Look, I never had an ambition to be president or vice president. I was honored to be asked,” the Minnesota governor told “the New Yorker Radio Hour” on Sunday. “If I feel I can serve, I will. And if nationally, people are like, ‘Dude we tried you, and look how that worked out,’ I’m good with that.”  “If I think I could offer something … I would certainly consider that.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Walz reportedly had romantic relationship with China’s Wang in his 20’s

By Robert McGreevy | Daily Caller Kamala Harris’ running mate Tim Walz allegedly had a passionate romance with the daughter of a high-ranking Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official, the Daily Mail reported Monday. Walz engaged in the secret tryst with Jenna Wang, then an English language teacher, during his 1989 teaching stint in the Chinese city Foshan, she told the Daily Mail. Wang claimed the pair did not show any public affection to each other as it apparently would have bothered Wang’s father, Bin Hui, a high-ranking CCP official and chairman of a labor union in her home city Guilin, according to the outlet. Walz married Gwen Whipple in 1994. “My father would have been very, very angry and sad if he had found out,” Wang told the outlet. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY ...

Colton: Cringeworthy pro-Harris ad showcasing male support features professional actors

By Emma Colton, Commentary | Fox News A new and viral political video featuring men declaring they are "man enough" to support Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is stacked with Hollywood actors and comedians.  A grassroots ad published last week by a former producer for Jimmy Kimmel has racked up millions of views on social media as critics lambaste the video supporting Harris as "the cringiest political ad ever created." The director behind the video said it was made for a group called Creatives for Harris, adding that even while the video is tongue in cheek, the message of the video "is true."  The video was not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee, according to a disclaimer in the 90-second video, but is shot as if it's an o...

Tim Walz calls for elimination of Electoral College at California fundraiser, says ‘it needs to go’

By Louis Casiano  | Fox News Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Tuesday called for the elimination of the Electoral College during a fundraiser in California, a move some Democrats have advocated for in the past after election defeats.  Walz was in California Gov. Gavin Newsom's private home in Sacramento when he remarked about the process by which U.S. presidents are elected.   "I think all of us know the Electoral College needs to go," he said, according to a pool report at the event, Bloomberg reported. "We need a national popular vote, but that's not the world we live in." In 2023, the Minnesota governor signed the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, an agreement in which each state would allocate all its electoral votes to whoever wins the popular vote fo...

Internet roasts Politico for claiming Vance’s beard shows ‘toxic masculinity’ while Walz’s eyes show ‘passion’

By Carmen Schober | Evie After JD Vance stole the show on Tuesday, Politico scrambled to help out Harris-Walz, and the best they could come up with was turning Vance's beard into a weapon of patriarchal terror. “One of the first bits of nonverbal communication to appear in the debate was on JD Vance’s face: his beard," they wrote. "As Politico Magazine has noted before, Vance is the first White House wannabe to wear facial hair in 80 years. Our appearance is fundamental to our body language, and research indicates that voters see beards as (surprise, surprise) more masculine. That can be positive to some, reading as strength and competence. But to others, especially women, it can be negative, conveying aggression and opposition to feminist ideals." READ THE FU...

Harris’ migration pushes up housing costs, crowds schools and fills hospitals, J.D. Vance says in debate

By Neil Munro  | Breitbart The mass migration supported by Kamala Harris crowds American schools, fills hospitals, and drives up the cost of family housing, Sen. JD Vance told the viewers watching CBS News’s vice presidential debate. “The people that I’m most worried about in Springfield, Ohio, are the American citizens who have had their lives destroyed by Kamala Harris’s open border,” he said, before turning to the Democratic candidate, Tim Walz. "It is a disgrace. Tim [Walz], and I actually think I agree with you. I think you want to solve this problem, but I don’t think that Kamala Harris does." READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

J.D. Vance tops Tim Walz in CBS post-debate exit polling, but 17% say it was a tie

By Breck Dumas  | Breitbart Sen. J.D. Vance’s (R-OH) regard for the facts appeared to help him outperform the sugar-coated whimsy of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) during Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate. At least, that is the opinion of those polled immediately after the showdown by CBS News, which hosted the forum. According to the CBS poll as seen by the Hill, 42 percent of debate watchers say Vance, a Yale-trained lawyer, won the debate. Walz trails closely behind with 41 percent of viewers saying he was victorious. About 17 percent said it was a tie. Nearly all, 88 percent, of debate viewers said the Vance-Walz face-off was generally positive, while 12 percent said it was generally negative, the survey showed. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART...

Heightened ‘significance and importance’ as J.D. Vance, Tim Walz face off in VP debate

By Paul Steinhauser , Brooke Singman  | Fox News With a second face-to-face showdown between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump unlikely - and with a margin-of-error race with five weeks until Election Day in November - there's a lot on the line in the vice presidential debate. While debates between the running mates are the undercard of a White House race and have rarely moved the need much in the past, when Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance of Ohio and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democrats' nominee, face-off on Tuesday, there will be heightened stakes. Any major knockout blow - or agonizing misstep - could turn what's traditionally seen as a second-tier event into an impactful showdown. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS...

Walz’s alleged ties to Chinese Communist Party deepen on eve of VP debate with Vance

By Paul Bois | Breitbart Rep. James Comer (R-Kent.) has subpoenaed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas about unspecified allegations of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) connections against Democrat Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.  In a letter accompanying the subpoena released on Thursday, Comer said the House Oversight and Accountability Committee received information from a whistleblower about “serious concern among Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel regarding a longstanding connection between” Tim Walz and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The letter was issued just one day before Walz is set to debate Trump vice-presidential pick JD Vance in the televised debate on Tuesday. Per the Hill: READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Tim Walz stumped by question on inflation; repeats lie about Trump ‘sales tax’

By Joel B. Pollak | Breitbart Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president, was stumped Tuesday when asked by a reporter to explain what he and Vice President Kamala Harris would do for families struggling financially. In an interview with local Macon, Georgia, CBS affiliate WMAZ, Walz first said that he and Harris understood the problem because they are “middle class.” He then offered a series of her proposals unrelated to inflation: I tell them Kamala Harris and I know something about it being middle-class folks. Our family sit at the table trying to pay the bill. We know coming out of the COVID pandemic with prices where they were, that people need to see some relief. And I think that’s why Kamala Harris has put out a plan — especially around home ow...
