Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has announced that he will not run for president in the 2028 election.
In a recent interview, Walz made it clear that he is “not interested” in pursuing a presidential bid and reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the Democratic Party’s future nominee.
Walz also mentioned that while he has not made a final decision, he is still considering whether to seek a third term as governor in 2026.
This news comes after months of speculation about his potential candidacy following his role as the Democratic vice-presidential nominee in 2024.
Despite previous comments that hinted at a possible run for president in 2028, Walz has now clarified that he does not intend to pursue that path.
His announcement leaves the Democratic field wide open for other candidates who may seek to challenge President Donald Trump in 2028.
Walz emphasized that his focus remains on fulfilling his duties as governor and supporting the Democratic Party’s agenda in the upcoming elections.
This decision marks a shift in Walz’s political trajectory, as many had speculated that his experience on the national stage would pave the way for a future run at the White House.
For now, Walz remains committed to serving the people of Minnesota, with his gubernatorial future still uncertain.
