President Donald Trump said Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, running partner of former Vice President Kamala Harris, lost Democratic losses in the 2024 election.
Trump’s comments are on Walz’s offer on Tuesday’s Podcast for California Gov. Gavin Newsom, which Walz predicts he can kick the “A-” of most Trump supporters.
“Well, he’s a loser. Yes. No, I think so. He lost the election,” Trump said in the White House Oval Office on Friday. “The role he played. You know, usually the role that the vice president didn’t play. They said. I think Tim played a role. I think he was so bad that he hurt her. But she hurt herself. Joe hurts both of them. Neither of them has a good team, but I might put him at the bottom of this group.”
A spokesperson for Waltz did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News numbers.

Walz’s comments originated from a discussion with Newsom about toxic masculinity. While Newsom discusses why he brought conservative figures like Charlie Kirk on the podcast because he believes people shouldn’t announce someone because they have different opinions, Waltz questioned how to challenge Trump supporters.
“How do you fight? I think I can kick most of them – I do think.” “But I don’t know if we’re going to fall into where we want – well, we’re challenging you the WWE fight you’re fighting here.”
Walz also told Newsom that he believed “I kind of scared them” and that he was under scrutiny from Republicans prompted Newsom to laugh.
“No, I’m serious because they know I can fix the truck, they know I’m not a bull,” Waltz said.

Meanwhile, Walz’s comments on the podcast have received some criticism.
Caitlyn Jenner, a trans woman formerly known as Bruce Jenner and former Olympic Gold-Medal Decathlete, joked in X posts, more “masculine” than Walz.
Vice President JD Vance also spoke about Waltz’s comments in an interview with Daily Caller’s Vince Coglia, which aired Thursday.

“I have to say, Vince, I’ve never been intimidated by Tim Walz,” Vance said.
Vance also talked about speculation that Walz may try to run for the U.S. Senate after he was Harris’s running mate in the 2024 election.
“I’m not too worried that Tim Walz is a political talent,” Vance said.
