In a twist of fate worthy of a tragicomedy, Minnesota’s very own Governor Tim Walz is about to hit the campaign trail with some old pals—former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton—because who wouldn’t want their political star power resurrected like a zombie at an election? It’s like pulling out the classic VHS tapes, hoping the visual effects hold up.
Walz, in an unprecedented move, seems to have the bright idea that if he gets the guys who used to be the main attraction to show up, maybe, just maybe, early voting in battleground states will skyrocket like a fourth of July firework! First stop? North Carolina, where Clinton will join Walz in Durham on the glorious first day of early voting. What’s next? A rock concert for democracy?
While Walz puts on his best smile and his shoes for “please vote for us,” the Harris-Walz ticket has clearly decided that digging up their most powerful political corpses is the way to unearth some voter sympathy. And who needs fresh ideas when you’ve got a dilapidated bandwagon led by star alumni?
Obama, always the enthusiastic tactician, started his campaign blitz on October 10 like a seasoned carny, chiding folks in the Pittsburgh area about their excuses for not voting for Harris. “Come on, people, don’t vote for Trump! You got better options!” If anyone’s confused, don’t worry, he’ll explain it all from a Sun Belt stage soon—gotta keep that charm offensive rolling!
And then there’s Clinton, making stops in rural Georgia like a traveling preacher, convincing people that early voting is their one-way ticket to happiness, possibly promising them eternal joy if they just turn out and cast a ballot. “Remember folks, I’m here because I believe!” he implored, presumably not mentioning that belief is often the last refuge of the desperate.
As Walz hops around Arizona cheerily proclaiming the importance of relationships, it’s a wonder he didn’t bring a couch and a therapist’s notepad. “We can make a difference!” he exclaimed, as if he was about to unveil a new reality show where the grand prize is actually governance instead of mere entertainment.
So there you have it—a campaign trail so star-studded, it’s practically a funeral home for retired political careers, attempting to raise the dead in hopes of snagging some votes for a ticket that’s still trying to figure out if they can hold the keys to the White House without a GPS. If this were a sitcom, I’d say it’s a sure hit!
