Under the current presidential administration of the United States, both domestic and foreign policy have entered a period of profound transformation that is reshaping the nation’s political and global engagement. In this context, Governor Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s vice presidential candidate during the 2024 election, brings a distinctive perspective as both a subnational leader and a national figure in the Democratic Party.
This discussion will explore current social and political developments in the United States, the governance of a state in a time of unprecedented change, and how states like Minnesota can contribute to democratic resilience and strengthening international alliances.
