Tim Walz thinks he and Kamala Harris played it too safe last year.
He thinks they should have held more town halls. He thinks they didn’t have time to get their feet under them. And he thinks Democrats should have taken more risks and gone to more places.
“We shouldn’t have been playing this thing so safe,” the Minnesota governor said in an interview with POLITICO before speaking to nearly 1,000 Democrats here at the Helena fairgrounds last weekend.
Walz said the campaign’s risk-averse approach was a byproduct of the brief, 107-day campaign, because “these are things you might have been able to get your sea legs, if you will, 18 months out, where the stakes were a lot lower.” But he said, “after you lose, you have to go back and assess where everything was at, and I think that is one area, that is one area we should think about.”
