Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz recently revealed his dream dinner guest during a trip along the West Coast. While traveling with reporters, Walz shared that he would love to have Bruce Springsteen as his ideal dinner companion.
As part of a campaign tradition, reporters on Walz's plane wrote questions on oranges and rolled them to the front of the aircraft for the candidate to answer. One of the questions posed was about Walz's dream dinner guest, to which he did not respond immediately.
However, on Monday evening, a campaign official returned an orange to the reporters with 'Bruce Springsteen' written as the response. This revelation came after Springsteen endorsed Walz and Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign, prompting Walz to discuss his deep admiration for Springsteen's music.
During an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' Walz reminisced about the impact Springsteen's music had on him during his high school years. He specifically mentioned how Springsteen's album 'The River' had a profound effect on him, describing it as a life-changing and almost religious experience.
Walz's admiration for Springsteen's music adds a personal touch to his political journey, showcasing the influence of art and culture on his life. The revelation of his dream dinner guest sheds light on the governor's personal interests and connections beyond the realm of politics.
