Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) joins Morning Joe to discuss the Democratic strategy for the 2024 election on Morning Joe. He emphasizes the importance of unity and focusing on shared values such as strong public schools, healthcare, and labor unions.

When Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz showed up on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” last week to blast Donald Trump and JD Vance as “weird” — part of a recent media blitz — the line of attack quickly gained traction among Democrats. Key among them was de facto presidential nominee Kamala Harris, who days later started using the same word in her campaign messaging against the GOP ticket, including at a fundraiser in Massachusetts on Saturday.

“He was my partner in repealing ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ he authored most of the post-9/11 GI Bill,” Murphy said. “And he was winning a congressional district that Democrats don’t usually win.” Harris’ current VP short list is filled with governors as she seeks to potentially balance the ticket with a voice outside Washington. Walz has built a robust network of influence across several states in his role as chair of the Democratic Governors Association, a job he took on last year.
