"I am live outside of the the Tim Walz residence. A bunch of black suburbans rolled in." (* UPATE below)

Last edited Mon Aug 5, 2024, 07:23 PM - Edit history (1)

I am live outside of the the Tim Walz residence. A bunch of black suburbans rolled in.

Secret Service? No idea. Lots of people going in and out.

#WalzWatch #Veepstakes

I will wait for another 5-10 mins out here as i feel a little weird sitting here

(I also would like to go to chipotle I am hungry)

Follow me for all exclusive Walz updates for the next 5-10 mins.










UPDATE:

A spokesperson for Walz’s confirms this is this is his Minnesota detail and the vehicles belong to the MN Department of Public Safety.

I volunteered once at a DGA event and all the governors had security details. Most arrived in black cars like that. And I read on that twitter stream that Walz has a fundraiser scheduled tonight in Minneapolis. So this may just be him going to the fundraiser.

As a rule it's the state patrol that provides the governor's security.

he was attending a fundraiser for Harris that was planned a while ago (not sure if it was originally a Biden/Harris funraiser or not).

Maybe it was a subliminal message for him to go to In-N-Out Burger instead of Chipotle?

it must be his personal home - but wouldn't he be living at the governor's residence?

Edit: Never mind, I just remembered that he's living at the U President's residence on E. River Rd. while the governor's residence is being renovated. I think that's it.

Simpler days

I loved that neighborhood. On the other side my neighbors were physical therapists at the VA and across the street there were music teachers.

Mixed income neighborhoods are great.

Also I sure hope she chooses him. He makes sense.

I remember 20 years ago when the news came out about Kerry/Edwards. Someone had posted overnight a link from some tradesman discussion board of a painter who has been detailing the Kerry/Edwards plane the night before the announcement

It belongs to the University of Minnesota. The official governor's residence is under renovation so the state rented "Eastcliff" from the U.

They'd paint it, but then they'd have to raise tuition.
