Tim talks to a local Minnesota reporter to get the low-down on Tim Walz's recent political history, including where he falls on the progressive-to-moderate spectrum—as well as his weak spots from his tenure as governor, like the 2020 riots in Minneapolis.

MinnPost's Peter Callaghan and the Washington Post's Isaac Stanley-Becker join Tim Miller.
