Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz admitted he can sometimes be a “train wreck” because he speaks “from the heart.”

Walz told New York Magazine in an interview published Monday that the Democratic Party is too “timid.” The former vice presidential pick’s comments come as his party grapples with its brutal losses in the 2024 election cycle and struggles to rebuild its brand in a way that resonates with voters.

“I think we’re cautious by nature,” Walz told the outlet. “And look, I said this and I told the vice president, I said I know my strengths and weaknesses. I said about 90% of the time, I can be really good, but about 10% of the time, I can be a train wreck because I’m speaking from the heart, like a teacher sitting in a teachers lounge or a laborer sitting at the break table.”
