What Did Tim Walz Say About ‘Waking up With Madam President?’

As a seasoned political enthusiast with a knack for humor, I must say that Tim Walz‘s debut on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” was nothing short of entertaining. His candid and humble demeanor, coupled with his ability to laugh at himself, made for an engaging interview. The slip-up about the November 6 plans with Kamala Harris was a classic example of human error, something we all can relate to.


Recently, Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” for the first time. During this late-night talk show appearance, Walz discussed a range of topics such as his past as a social science teacher, the upcoming debate with JD Vance (Donald Trump’s running mate), and more. However, Walz found himself trending once more due to an error regarding his November 6 plans with Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, if they were to win the elections.

How did Tim Walz slip up during his Jimmy Kimmel interview?

On his first appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota talked about his debate with Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance. During the conversation, host Jimmy Kimmel brought up a moment in the debate where Senator Vance refused to acknowledge that former president Donald Trump had lost the 2020 election. In response, Walz shared that he felt he should have started the debate by asking about this issue instead of bringing it up 85 minutes into the discussion.

As a gamer, I’ve gotta say, it feels like I’ve just leveled up in an unprecedented reality. Governor Walz of Minnesota, much like me when I complete a tough gaming level, confessed the current situation is “very surreal.” Yet, he, like any optimistic gamer, believes that change is coming with the upcoming election. He put it bluntly, “I managed a high school lunchroom – you’re an optimist or you’re out of the game.” With fingers crossed and eyes on November 6, I’m planning to wake up to a new world with Madam President Harris-Walz in charge.

In the midst of the crowd’s excitement, Jimmy Kimmel sought more clarity from Governor Walz regarding his statement. The host humorously added, “I just want to make it clear, there won’t be any shared mornings.” When the governor chuckled and admitted his linguistic faux pas, Kimmel playfully suggested, “Or perhaps you two have grown closer than we realized.” At this point, Governor Walz graciously acknowledged his lack of precision in language and thanked Kimmel for pointing it out. He explained, “I struggle with being specific with my words. So, thanks for that, especially for bringing it to my attention.

Walz too reminisced about the moment when Kamala Harris’ call, inviting him to join her as a running mate, slipped past him. Furthermore, he disclosed that he had saved her number in his phone under the name “My dry cleaner,” giving an insight into their relationship with the Democratic vice-presidential candidate.
