DES MOINES, Iowa — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz stood before hundreds of Iowans on Friday and admitted he doesn’t have all the answers about issues facing the country. Walz is back on the road to talk to voters, but he’s no longer a vice presidential candidate. He isn’t any kind of candidate, at least not for now.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is hitting the road this weekend on the first leg of a national tour to hold town halls in Republican districts where representatives aren’t holding public meetings of their own.

The Minnesota governor is kicking off a series of town hall meetings in Republican-represented congressional districts across the Midwest, as Democrats cite the need for them after Congressional Republicans were instructed to halt their town halls.

Walz is planning stops beginning on Friday in Iowa's 3rd District, which is represented by Rep. Zach Nunn, and will then head to Nebraska's 2nd District, home to Rep. Don Bacon, according to national media reports. His office also has stops planned in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Ohio as well.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will return to Wisconsin next week as part of a tour to highlight Republicans who have stopped holding in-person town halls.
