Despondent Democrats getting rolled by the Trump Administration got a cold dose of reality from their former nominee for vice president earlier this week after he nearly face-planted on national TV.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz appeared on CNN’s “The Arena with Kasie Hunt” on Wednesday to discuss President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress the previous night. During their conversation, Hunt asked an excellent question that perfectly reflects the quandary Democrats are in right now.
“Sir, who do you think the leader of the Democratic Party is right now?” she queried.
After hearing this question, a stumped Tim Walz paused for a few brief moments before giving this surprising answer:
“I think the voting public, right now, is what I would say,” he responded while nervously chuckling. “We are not going to have a charismatic leader ride in and save us from this.”

Walz then backed up his argument by harkening back to the days of the Tea Party, which emerged in 2010 as a response to Barack Obama shoving his radical health care plan down America’s throat.
“And I would argue that the Tea Party, as it arose out of the ACA, where was that charismatic leader?” he stated. “It was John Boehner and Mitch McConnell and a whole bunch of folks at town halls.”
The New York Post later reported Hunt asked Walz if he believed if Kamala Harris could be a future leader. He gave a response that would no doubt displease her.
“I certainly think she could be,” he answered.
This will not tone down talks about Walz potentially making a run of his own. He revealed last week that he will “certainly consider” running for the Oval Office in 2028.
A showdown between him and Harris would undoubtedly be entertaining, at least for Republicans.
