Who Is This Person?

Tim Walz is the 41st Governor of Minnesota, serving since 2019. Previously a U.S. Congressman (2007-2019), high school teacher, football coach, and cafeteria supervisor for 20 years. He was the Democratic nominee for Vice President in 2024 alongside Kamala Harris. Recent activities include responding to allegations of massive welfare fraud in Minnesota's Department of Human Services (DHS), denying involvement and stating no pardons for fraudsters. Active on X with political commentary, policy updates, and criticisms of Donald Trump. Tweets date back to at least 2018, indicating a long-standing account likely created around his congressional campaigns.

How Credible Are They?

68%

Baseline Score

Authentic official account of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, verified and highly influential in U.S. politics with robust engagement. Credibility is solid for official announcements and personal background (e.g., educator experience), but reduced by partisan bias, political spin, and recent controversies over state fraud allegations amplified by opponents and DHS staff claims. Cross-platform presence is consistent; treat political statements as advocacy rather than neutral facts.

Assessment by Grok AI

What's Their Track Record?

As a political figure, posts are primarily opinion-based advocacy rather than factual reporting. Subject to fact-checks on claims about him (some debunked as false, e.g., exaggerated fraud accusations by opponents), with controversies including alleged ignoring of DHS fraud warnings ($1B+), COVID-related issues, and past incidents like a staffer's hacked account posting racist content. No major corrections issued by the account itself; historical tweets align with progressive policies and have been consistent but partisan.

Tim Walz tweet: "The President is unwell. Release the MRI results." Tim Walz interview transcript (same topic, full context): "Well, here we got a guy on Thanksgiving where we spent time with our families. We ate, we played Yahtzee, we cheered for football or whatever. This guy is apparently in a room ranting about everything else. Uh, this is not normal behavior. It, it is not healthy. And presidents throughout time have released a couple things. They've released their tax returns—not Donald Trump—and they have released their medical records—not Donald Trump. In the end, look, the MRI is one thing, but I think what's most concerning about this is, as your viewers out there are listening, has anyone in the history of the world ever have an MRI assigned to them and have no idea what it was for, as he says? So look, it's clear that the president is fading physically. I think the mental capacity—again, ranting, you know, crazily at midnight on Thanksgiving about everything else. There, there are reasons for us to be concerned. This was a guy who randomly says airspace over Venezuela is closed. He is ruminating. If you could win a new camp in war—look, this is a serious position. It's the most powerful position in the world, and we have someone at midnight throwing around slurs that demonize our children at the same time he is not solving any of the problems. So I'm deeply concerned that he is incapable of doing the job."
