Walz: Americans are ‘rising up and asking their leadership to do something’

Democratic Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota has been on a national town hall tour through red congressional districts from Iowa to Texas to Ohio .

Walz says Democrats need to do a better job of reaching Trump voters.

He says the Democrats have to figure out Donald Trump's language around this. He's not wrong that we've had manufacturing gutted. We got ourselves in this mess because we weren't bold enough to stand up.

I think the challenge for Democrats is I think a structural problem that's going to take a lot more thinking.

I think what we allowed ourselves to do is we we got timid. And then when we got power, we didn't pass things that improved people's lives. And I'm very concerned with the folks who stayed home. And, I'll say once again, Donald Trump has identified their angst.

Democrats were gaslighting the country, saying inflation was not a big deal, heralding Bidenomics , pretending that there wasn't a problem at the border.

And then fundamentally, this idea that President Biden was up for another four years of the job while Americans in poll after poll for year after year were saying he's too old to do the job.
