The two-term Democrat and former vice presidential nominee has left the door open to a possible future national run.
Eau Claire, Wis. – Standing in front of a crowded theater, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz explained his new mood booster. Every day, he told the western Wisconsin audience, he checks the stock price for Tesla, the electric vehicle company owned by Trump adviser Elon Musk.
“I’m not a vindictive person or anything but I take great pleasure in the fact that this guy’s life is going to get very, very difficult,” Walz said of Musk, whose company has seen its stock price drop as he continues his effort to slash federal spending with the help of his Department of Government Efficiency.
Walz was in the battleground district of second-term Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden on Tuesday for a town hall-style event, but the conversation regularly veered back to Musk, who has poured millions into backing a conservative judge in a high-profile race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
