Walz will get reelected in 2026 by double digits because it will be a Trump midterm.
He could pin one to his lapel like a flag pin.
And there is nothing VERY shameful about this story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Walz#Fraud_scandal
Fraud scandal
In 2022, federal prosecutors filed charges against the Minnesota nonprofit Feeding Our Future, which received federal funding to distribute meals to children. Prosecutors said that during the COVID-19 pandemic, Feeding Our Future had committed fraud worth over $250 million, submitting fraudulent meal sheets in order to receive funding. Several defendants, including the nonprofit's founder, were later found guilty.[228] It was later reported that the Minnesota Department of Education, which was responsible for distributing funds, had found irregularities in the group's paperwork as early as 2020. Following initial rejections, Feeding Our Future sued the agency and threatened to accuse it of racism (the agency mainly catered to the state's large Somali American population). The agency then resumed funding.[229] A report from the nonpartisan state legislative auditor's office later found that the threats had affected the agency's judgment, and an investigator from the state's fraud investigation office (who was himself Somali) said that concerns over being portrayed as racist made the Walz administration reluctant to pursue fraud allegations.[229] Walz later announced a task force to combat fraud, saying that his administration "had a culture of being a little too trusting".[230]
Although the fraud had been known locally for months, it came to national attention in late 2025, when The New York Times broke a story highlighting that federal prosecutors had found more than $1 billion of fraud in separate plots.[229] Walz was extensively criticized, with the editorial board of The Washington Post accusing him of "refusing to take accountability".[231] President Trump announced that he would attempt to terminate temporary protected status for Somali immigrants, which itself faced significant criticism. Since the scandal, political commentators have said that Walz's reelection (and potential future presidential) prospects have significantly dimmed.[232]

More headaches for Walz. There is news today that "unemployed" individuals have donated $1.75 billion to the Democrats in the state of Minnesota. Think about that for a minute. Is this Walz laundering kicked back taxpayer money given to Somali people? Is that why Kamala picked Walz as her running mate, because he controlled that money? Just askin'.

RationalWiki is irrationally leftist.
Nothing on the site at all supports that interpretation.
