Tim Walz Left Stumped When Asked Who’s Running the Democratic Party – Then He Gives an Unexpected Answer (VIDEO)

Despondent Democrats getting rolled by the Trump Administration got a cold dose of reality from their former nominee for vice president earlier this week after he nearly face-planted on national TV.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz appeared on CNN’s “The Arena with Kasie Hunt” on Wednesday to discuss President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress the previous night. During their conversation, Hunt asked an excellent question that perfectly reflects the quandary Democrats are in right now.

“Sir, who do you think the leader of the Democratic Party is right now?” she queried.

After hearing this question, a stumped Tim Walz paused for a few brief moments before giving this surprising answer:

“I think the voting public, right now, is what I would say,” he responded while nervously chuckling. “We are not going to have a charismatic leader ride in and save us from this.”

Walz then backed up his argument by harkening back to the days of the Tea Party, which emerged in 2010 as a response to Barack Obama shoving his radical health care plan down America’s throat.

“And I would argue that the Tea Party, as it arose out of the ACA, where was that charismatic leader?” he stated. “It was John Boehner and Mitch McConnell and a whole bunch of folks at town halls.”

The New York Post later reported Hunt asked Walz if he believed if Kamala Harris could be a future leader. He gave a response that would no doubt displease her.

“I certainly think she could be,” he answered.

This will not tone down talks about Walz potentially making a run of his own. He revealed last week that he will “certainly consider” running for the Oval Office in 2028.

A showdown between him and Harris would undoubtedly be entertaining, at least for Republicans.

Congress demands anew Treasury provide access to Suspicious Activity Reports involving ActBlue

New letter reveals Biden administration didn’t fully comply with requests involcing Democrat online fundraising platform

The Biden administration failed to fully comply with a demand to allow Congress to review Suspicious Activity Reports involving the massive Democrat online fundraising platform ActBlue, prompting a fresh request Monday to the Trump Treasury Department, according to correspondence obtained by Just the News.

House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., and House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., made the joint request to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant seeking access to the SARs, which are required by federal law when banks suspect money laundering or other suspicious activity.

The committees first sought the reports last fall, and Comer has said government officials told them there are hundreds of such reports.

In their new letter, the chairmen revealed the Biden Treasury Department only let Congress see some of the reports.

“Although the Biden Administration initially stalled the Committees’ requests in its entirety for months, on January 2, 2025, Treasury allowed the Committees to review only limited documents,” they wrote Bessant. “We write to request Treasury, in its commitment to transparency and cooperation, provide both Committees with the remaining records relevant to our investigations.”

Congress along with numerous state attorneys generals began investigating ActBlue last election, citing concerns the massive fundraising online platform, which claims to have raised $2 billion for Democrats and liberal causes over the last two decades, had not until recently used security tools like the CVV number on the back of credit cards to ensure donor identities.

The lawmakers told Bessant they were concerned that loose security might have led to abuses on the platform, including the flow of prohibited foreign monies into U.S. elections.

“Our Committees are concerned that the failure to properly vet contributions made through online platforms may allow bad actors, including foreign nationals not lawfully admitted for permanent residence or individuals attempting to evade individual contribution limits, to more easily commit fraud to illegally exploit and violate federal campaign finance laws,” they wrote.

For emphasis, they added the committees want to “guard against illicit foreign influence or other illegal activities in U.S. elections.”

In a recent interview with the Just the News, No Noise television show, Comer indicated the “small fraction” of documents the committees was shown by the Biden Treasury Department only heightened lawmakers’ concerns and determination to get access to all records.

“I think you are going to have a lot to report on ActBlue in the coming weeks,“ Comer said. Asked whether there is a foreign trail of money, he responded: “Absolutely.”

Back in December, Steil told the Just the News, No Noise television show that Congress likely will refer ActBlue to the Trump Justice Department for possible investigation.

“Once Pam Bondi comes in as attorney general under the Trump administration, we then have a partner at the United States Department of Justice to look at this, to do the investigation into bad actors, and to hold anyone who is engaged in this activity accountable,” he said.

In October, Steil and Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, a fellow Republican, wrote to then-Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, then-FBI Director Christopher Wray and then-Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines about concerns that four U.S. adversaries may have donated through the platform.
