Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the former vice presidential candidate, told Democratic Party voters in South Carolina on May 31 that their party had lost its way and needed to revive its identity, as Democrats prepare to challenge for control of Congress and governorships in 2026.

Walz, who was former Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate in 2024, gave the keynote address at the South Carolina Democratic Party Convention and opened with a general critique of President Donald Trump’s second administration, mentioning topics including the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the Department of Government Efficiency, tax policies, and the president’s decision to accept Qatar’s gift of a Boeing 747.
