Tim Walz, the once “rising star” who fizzled out faster than a bottle rocket on a rainy Fourth of July, is waving the white flag when it comes to the Democrats’ Senate chances in 2026. You know it’s bad when even the blue-state boys can’t put a happy spin on it anymore.
Walz, speaking to a very captive (read: liberal) audience at Harvard’s Kennedy School, basically threw a wet blanket on the entire “Take Back the Senate” fantasy. “Very pessimistic,” he said, probably with the same energy you see in someone realizing they forgot to file their taxes.
He’s still clinging to the idea that they’ll snag the House, bless his heart. Maybe someone should tell him that “hope” isn’t exactly a strategy. Especially when your national brand is about as popular as a root canal. Walz even admitted it, trying to frame it nicely by saying that candidates will need to “overcome stigma” from the national Democratic Party. Translation: they’ve become so toxic that even the dyed-in-the-wool progressives are looking for a hazmat suit before touching the DNC with a ten-foot pole.
It gets even better. Walz, in his infinite optimism (and by optimism, we mean delusion), tried to argue that Trump’s first 100 days have been a “wind at their back.” That’s right. Somehow, in a world where illegal immigration is plummeting, the economy is surging, and normal people are finally feeling like their government actually gives a rip about their safety and wallets, Walz thinks the Democrats are riding a winning streak. Sure, Tim. And I’m the Queen of England.
Tim Walz says the problem is we didn’t embrace enough immigrants, wokeness, and DEI. That’s all they’ve done for years—ran on it, bragged about it, forced it into schools, companies, and government.
Now they blame the fallout on not going hard enough?

Meanwhile, back in the real world, the Trump administration is racking up actual wins. On Monday, the White House hosted a little show-and-tell session highlighting the 96% drop in illegal border crossings. Ninety-six percent. That’s not a typo. That’s what happens when you stop playing patty-cake with the cartels and start enforcing the law.
Karoline Leavitt, standing next to Border Czar (and American folk hero) Tom Homan, didn’t mince words. They even decorated the White House lawn with mug shots of illegal immigrants arrested for violent crimes — a visual that hits harder than any smug academic seminar Walz could ever sit through.
And it’s not just the border. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is taking the show on the road, outlining how the administration plans to double down on economic priorities that put America first for once. Lower taxes, less regulation, and — brace yourself — actual respect for hard work instead of just pandering to every grievance group with a TikTok account.
All the while, the Democrats are busy trying to “reimagine” themselves. That’s the word Walz used — “reimagine.” Because apparently, admitting your policies stink and changing course is just too much to ask. Better to slap some new buzzwords on the same old nonsense and hope the voters don’t notice. Spoiler alert: they’re noticing. Every day groceries get cheaper, the border gets safer, and gas prices drop a little more, Americans are noticing.
So yes, Tim, go ahead and be pessimistic. You’re finally being honest with yourself. Maybe next time you run for something, you can “reimagine” a platform that doesn’t involve selling out working families for another round of progressive social experiments. Until then, enjoy the sidelines — it’s going to be a long couple of years.
