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.
Point it out if you are seeing something else, but all I see the article saying is he’s doing town halls.
If you agree that the right has captured rural voters by lying to them, and left policies would actually benefit them, then at some point someone needs to communicate that to them in an effective way. Yes, there’s a lot of brainwashing to get through, but Walz seems like a good bet to talk to rural voters in a way they’d accept.
