Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's response to the 2020 George Floyd riots in Minneapolis has sparked concerns among some residents about the state's leadership. Now, as Walz, 60, joins Vice President Harris as her running mate on the 2024 Democrat ticket, residents are expressing worries about the potential new leadership at the national level.
Residents like Max Rymer, who relocated from a neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis to a suburb north of the city in 2020, are critical of Walz's handling of the situation. Rymer, a Republican candidate for the Minnesota House of Representatives District 28B, expressed disbelief at the support Walz still receives despite the challenges faced by residents over the past four years.
