Walz Tells DNC to End Infighting, Calls Trump a ‘Felon in the White House’

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz used a speech at the Democratic National Committee’s summer meeting in Minneapolis on Monday to admonish fellow Democrats for what he called unproductive public infighting while President Donald Trump remains in office. Walz said the party "does not have the luxury" to battle internally and argued that Republicans uncritically follow "the felon in the White House," a reference to Trump’s criminal convictions. Walz, whose name has periodically surfaced on national short-lists, mocked the Republican Party’s signature red hats and accused Trump of advancing "fascist policies," citing the president’s recent threat to criminalise flag-burning. The governor urged delegates to focus on defeating Trump in the 2026 mid-term elections rather than on intraparty squabbles. Earlier in the meeting, DNC Chair Ken Martin delivered similarly sharp remarks, describing the first seven months of Trump’s second term as "fascism dressed in a red tie." Martin said the committee is "using every lever of power" to push back against the administration and called on Democrats nationwide to remain united.
