Walz Urges Aggressive Stance on President Trump

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, former 2024 vice presidential candidate, urged Democrats at the South Carolina Democratic Party Convention to take a tougher, more aggressive approach toward President Donald Trump, whom he described as a 'bully,' 'wannabe dictator,' and 'existential threat.' Walz emphasized the need for Democrats to 'be a little meaner' and to 'bully the s–t out of' Trump, arguing the party must reclaim its working-class roots. He criticized Trump's current administration and policies, specifically the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' and called for Democrats to compete vigorously in every race and district. Walz's remarks highlight growing divisions within the Democratic Party over how to confront Trump's renewed presidency. His recent appearances in early primary states have intensified speculation about a 2028 presidential run. The convention served as a platform for energizing activists and debating strategy against the Republican agenda.
