Tim Walz calls for ‘shadow government’ to counter Trump election integrity efforts
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has called for the establishment of a “shadow government” to counteract what he perceives as the Trump administration’s efforts to counter President Donald Trump’s common-sense efforts to secure America’s elections.
Speaking at a town hall in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, last week, Walz laid bare the Democrats’ latest scheme to subvert the will of the American people, proposing an “alternate press conference” to peddle what he calls “the truth” in opposition to Trump’s administration.
Walz’s outburst came as he stumped for Judge Susan Crawford, a liberal activist masquerading as a judicial candidate in Wisconsin’s upcoming Supreme Court race.
Meanwhile, GOP representative Brad Schimel plays a pivotal role in this critical election. A Democrat win could lead to redistricting that might secure a majority for them in the House by 2026.
Seizing the opportunity to attack Trump, Walz accused the administration of “restricting the vote” with its recent executive order aimed at ensuring only American citizens cast ballots. The order, signed Tuesday, mandates that the Election Assistance Commission update voter registration forms to require proof of citizenship.
“We see one of the first things they do is try and restrict the vote,” Walz ranted. “I don’t know what the answer is on this, but I’m kind of—I’ve been saying this: I think we need a shadow government, so when all these things come up every single day, we’ve got an alternate press conference telling the truth about what things are happening, tell them what’s going on.”

What Walz is proposing isn’t just political theater—it’s a direct assault on democracy. After losing the 2024 election in a landslide to Trump and Vice President JD Vance—who secured 312 electoral votes to Kamala Harris and Walz’s measly 226—the Democrats are scrambling to claw back power by any means necessary.
Unable to accept the voters’ rejection of their radical agenda, Walz now wants an unelected cabal to run a parallel government, complete with its own propaganda arm to drown out the duly elected administration. If this isn’t a threat to the republic, what is?
