Not sure how he'd do in a statewide race, he did consider running for Senate in 2018 but was discouraged by Schumer who wanted Sinema instead and look at how that turned out for us.

I'm impressed with Walz, he got a lot of progressive stuff done with a slim majority in the state house and he did win a statewide race. Also impressed with midwest left wing populism.
