Tim Walz disapproves of Kamala Harris' ‘I told you so’ comment about warning Americans against Trump

WASHINGTON, DC: Minnesota governor and former Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz disagreed with former vice president and 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris' recent remarks about Trump during his appearance on the Sunday, April 6, episode of 'State of the Union' on CNN.
Harris was speaking at the Leading Women Defined Summit in California on Thursday when she referred to organizations "capitulating" under threat from President Donald Trump's administration and quipped, "I’m not here to say I told you so. I swear, I wasn’t going to say that."

Tim Walz's reaction to Kamala Harris' quip
CNN anchor Jake Tapper pressed Tim Walz on his former running mate Kamala Harris' jibe, saying that she might have warned Americans about Donald Trump's policies but failed to do it compellingly enough to win the last general election.

As per Salon, Walz responded by saying that Harris needed to own up the responsibility for their electoral defeat, adding, "When I criticize, I’m criticizing myself, I own this. I’m part of the ticket, and somebody has to come up with a strategy.”
The governor felt that Democrats should refrain from making snide remarks in the following months and contemplate why their message failed to resonate with voters.

"I do think the challenge for Democrats—and this is, I think, a structural problem that’s going to take a lot more thinking—why, with all of that out there, did they not think we were any better than that?" Walz said.
He added, “And I’m very concerned with the folks who stayed home, and these are folks that I’ll say once again—Donald Trump has identified their angst."
Walz believes that Trump and MAGA have focused on and captured a voting bloc whose "economic future is so precarious it could slip out from under them."

"It should have been a slam dunk. We're the party that's going to protect Social Security and Medicare...We didn't do that. So, I'm concerned," he said, before voicing the identity crisis plaguing the Democratic Party.
"When I was young, it was easy to know what a Democrat was. They stood with the working class and labor. Republicans were...for the rich. Today, you ask people, they don't (know)."
Internet trolls Tim Walz and Kamala Harris
Netizens reacting to Tim Walz's comments on Kamala Harris on the Yahoo News website mocked them both over their pre-election messaging. The following examples demonstrate their takes.
"I don't know what Walz was talking about claiming they lost because their message wasn't resonating? They had no message. It was all orange man bad. They offered nothing," wrote a person.
"We just need to say it straight out. Not a single national Democrat or legacy media spoke truth to power about Joe's complete inability govern effectively due to cognitive issue," shared another.
"Their message did not resonate with the people as our citizens became second place to illegal immigrants. Believing there needed to be a shift to what was important, they chose another leader," alleged a third.
"KH had no message or plan. It was all about spewing hatred for President Trump," jibed a fourth.
"People stayed home due to a lack of good choices. I voted against Trump but was not enthusiastic about what the Democrats had to offer. Seems like we are always voting against the worse of two evils," stated a fifth.
