Summary

With Gov. Tim Walz in the national spotlight as a potential candidate for Kamala Harris's vice president, we wanted to revisit this conversation from 2023 with Andy Slavitt.

As fringe Republicans drive the agenda in Congress, Andy turns to the hope found in many states through newly elected and reelected governors. Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz joins to discuss how he was able to bridge the rural-urban divide, first representing a district that voted for Trump and then winning statewide election in a purple state. Can we govern our country, states, and localities in ways that resist extreme elements and get things done? Tim offers his path forward.

Keep up with Andy on Twitter and Post @ASlavitt.
