(DCNF)—Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is launching a tour of town halls in red districts across the U.S. beginning this week.
Walz confirmed the tour plans in a Wednesday post on X, writing that he intends to “lend a megaphone” to Americans. Notably, Walz’s tour announcement comes just a few months after he ran alongside former Vice President Kamala Harris on the Democratic ticket in the 2024 presidential race, and was brutally defeated by President Donald Trump.
“I’m hitting the road, traveling to red states across the country to lend a megaphone to the people,” Walz wrote in the social media post. “Your congressman may not want to listen, but they’re going to hear from us anyway.”
The left-wing governor is set to kick off his tour on Friday in Iowa and later make a stop in Nebraska, CNN reported Wednesday. Walz’s team is already planning to make stops in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Ohio over the next several weeks, according to the outlet.
“There was just a primal scream of folks recognizing what’s going on with the Trump administration, their authoritarian tendencies, and what they viewed was a lack of a proper response from their representatives,” Walz told CNN on Wednesday. “It was about these Republican representatives recognizing this stuff’s really unpopular, so they’re going to quit the town halls. These folks need to be heard. They need to be heard, and to be candid with you, Democratic leadership needs to hear them.”
In August 2024, Harris tapped Walz as her running mate in her failed White House bid. There have been recent reports that Walz is considering running for reelection in the 2026 Minnesota gubernatorial race instead of making a bid for his state’s open Senate seat.
One of Walz’s aides told CNN that his office has recently received hundreds of invitations from local party leaders and candidates requesting Walz to come visit them on his tour.
“I always feared that they would become apathetic after this last election and just check out, but they are not doing that,” Walz told the outlet.
Walz has introduced a host of liberal legislation since he took office in 2018, including signing a May 2023 law that required Minnesota schools to provide tampons in both girls’ and boys’ restrooms, which led President Donald Trump and others to refer to him as “Tampon Tim.”
Walz also emphasized during the CNN interview that he would do his best to ensure that the Democratic Party wins the 2028 presidential election.
“I will do anything possible to make sure that we win in ’28. I do not need to be on that ticket,” Walz told CNN. “That’s not my pursuit here. My pursuit is that I am still in a position where I have a platform and I have some power to make a difference, and if 20 people show up that’s good by me because those 20 people are making a difference. This isn’t about drawing a crowd. I’ll go to states where it wouldn’t matter, but it matters to those people. And that’s what I’m going to do.”
Still, Walz told The New Yorker in a March 2 interview that he would consider making his own 2028 presidential bid if the conditions and his “skill set” were right for him to run. Some other likely candidates for the 2028 Democratic ticket include Harris, Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom, former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, and Rahm Emanuel, an Obama-era White House chief of staff and former Chicago mayor.
The Democrat Party is reportedly struggling to figure out its messaging after the Harris-Walz campaign lost the November 2024 presidential election. Relatedly, some recent polling has shown that congressional Democrats currently are receiving low approval ratings from Americans and even members of their own party.
Walz’s office did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
