Walz Blames ‘Safe’ Campaign Strategy for 2024 Election Loss
Following their 2024 election loss, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Kamala Harris reflected on their campaign strategy. Walz attributed their defeat partly to a “safe” approach, advocating for more in-person events and greater risk-taking to connect directly with voters. He cited the campaign’s short timeframe as a limiting factor, hindering their ability to build momentum. Walz believes a more aggressive, less cautious strategy, including increased town hall meetings, would have improved their chances. He emphasized the need for Democrats to adopt a bolder approach in future campaigns.
