Failed Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz has announced he will ‘certainly consider’ running for president in 2024.
In an interview with ‘The New Yorker Radio Hour,’ Minnesota Governor Tim Walz discussed his potential run in upcoming election cycles.
“Look, I never had an ambition to be president or vice president. I was honored to be asked,” he said. “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,” he added.
According to The New Yorker, when asked if he would run for president, Walz responded, “Well, I had a friend tell me, ‘Never turn down a job you haven’t been offered.'”
“If I think I could offer something… I would certainly consider that. I’m also, though, not arrogant enough to believe there’s a lot of people that can do this.”
If the conditions align in 2028 and he possesses the appropriate “skill set” for the time, Walz said, “I’ll do it.”
“I’ll do whatever it takes. I certainly wouldn’t be arrogant enough to think that it needs to be me,” he explained.
“I’ve always said this: I didn’t prepare my life to be in these jobs, but my life prepared me well. And, if this experience I’ve had and what we’re going through right now prepares me for that, then I would.”
“But I worry about people who have ambition for elected office. I don’t think you should have ambition. I think you should have a desire to do it if you’re asked to serve. And that’s kind of where I’m at,” he said.
