Tim Walz’s latest attempt to cling to political relevance is nothing short of cringe-worthy, and it’s truly entertaining to witness. The Minnesota Governor, who briefly served as Kamala Harris’s running mate—yes, that Kamala Harris—seems to be desperately clawing for attention like a toddler in a toy aisle. Despite the humiliating loss his ticket suffered last November, he refuses to fade into the oblivion that his political career obviously deserves.
Walz’s questionable past is a delightful topic for anyone who enjoys a bit of political schadenfreude. He’s infamous for allegations of stolen valor, a spotty history with drunken driving, and fabricating his academic credentials. So, naturally, it makes perfect sense that he would take to the virtual skies and attempt to hold nationwide town halls. The only problem? His events are emptier than a liberal’s argument on gun rights. And it begs the question, how does someone so out of touch conceivably consider themselves a presidential contender?

In a recent moment of self-aggrandizement, Walz floated the idea of offering something to the country if he thought he could. This is the same man who seemed to attract Kamala Harris’s attention precisely because he pledged to avoid any presidential ambitions of his own. Apparently now that the election is in the rearview mirror, his enthusiasm for the limelight has reignited. While he might prefer to think of himself as a serious contender for 2028, his debate performance against JD Vance last year was so abysmal that it could only kill that dream dead in its tracks. Suggesting that America should befriend school shooters—really, Tim?
Then there’s Walz’s tenure during the BLM riots, where he stood by as Minneapolis was reduced to ashes. Now, he feels entitled to prance around the country, hollering about “fascists and Nazis.” However, when cornered about his reckless rhetoric, he lacks the backbone to defend it. His every appearance further seals his fate as a laughingstock in the political realm. In a recent podcast with Gavin Newsom, declaring that he could take on most Trump supporters was not only ludicrous but more laughable than threatening to pull the lever on a Slurpee machine.
His obsession with Elon Musk is another fascinating indicator of his spiraling desperation. Walz recently mocked Musk, calling him a “South African nepo baby,” which is not only a misguided attack but speaks volumes about Walz’s weird fixation on the entrepreneur. This is also the same man who felt the need to criticize Vance for making a successful life for himself after growing up in poverty. When Walz claimed “I had 24 kids in my high school class and none of them went to Yale” during his DNC acceptance speech, it was as if he forgot that success is something to aspire to, not to belittle.
But it’s the glee Walz expresses when Tesla’s stock price dips that really showcases how far he has fallen. His excitement over the stock decline resembles more of a spiteful schoolyard bully than a serious politician. It’s hard to fathom how anyone could gear up for a presidential run while celebrating the struggles of an American company. One can only wonder what he imagines this will accomplish—because from the outside looking in, it appears he’s merely waving a glittery goodbye to his political aspirations with jazz hands.
