Walz Challenges Democratic Strategy: “I’m Not Enabling Trump”
Governor Walz criticized Senate Democrats’ handling of the continuing resolution, arguing that they should have forced Trump to justify his actions, causing the pain of a government shutdown to fall directly on him rather than on the states. He believes improved inter-state communication and a more unified strategy among Democrats would have been beneficial. Further, he emphasized that he will not comply with unlawful presidential orders and cited the current administration’s illegal deportations as an example of why firm opposition is necessary. Walz also stressed the importance of the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election, viewing it as a crucial test of whether the judiciary can resist partisan influence. Finally, he expressed concern over the potential for Republicans to leverage Trump’s appeal even without his direct presence on the ballot.
