Key Takeaways

  • AOC and Tim Walz played Madden NFL 25 and Crazy Taxi on a Twitch stream, discussing politics.
  • Walz confirmed owning a Sega Dreamcast, but had to give it up.

As a long-time gamer and follower of political events, it was a delightful surprise to witness Minnesota Governor Tim Walz grace our Twitch screens with his gaming skills during his stream with US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). It’s not every day that we get to see a vice presidential candidate playing Crazy Taxi and discussing politics in the same breath!

During a live broadcast on Twitch hosted by US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (also known as AOC) along with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Walz provided viewers with a brief, entertaining session playing the game “Crazy Taxi”. After engaging in a discussion about politics, the forthcoming election, and the state of the nation, they also played “Madden NFL 25”.

At this stage, AOC is quite accustomed to streaming, with her Twitch account nearing a million followers. Politically speaking, she’s also a gamer, and AOC claims that playing games like “League of Legends” has been beneficial for her during her time in Congress. As the presidential election draws near, the Congresswoman has revisited this platform, this time inviting vice presidential candidate Tim Walz to join her.

2022 Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz and AOC indeed played Madden NFL 25 together, fulfilling their promise, but Walz also utilized this opportunity to clarify recent allegations about his gaming past. The Governor openly admitted that he previously owned a Sega Dreamcast before his wife persuaded him to part with it, and showed great passion for the game Crazy Taxi. With his time running short, he turned on the game and displayed a brief 3-minute clip of himself navigating San Francisco, picking up fares at a brisk pace.

Tim Walz Plays Crazy Taxi and Talks Sega Dreamcast

As a die-hard fan, I can confirm that rumors about Tim Walz and the Sega Dreamcast were indeed true! I, myself, was among those who owned this iconic gaming console, and yes, so did he. However, my better half wasn’t too thrilled about it, and eventually, I had to part ways with the beloved machine at the urging of my wife, passing it along to campaign staffers and volunteers to savor.

It came as no surprise that the Twitch chat became active when the Vice-Presidential candidate started playing a game, as he jokingly brought up a mod featuring Minnesota Governor Tim Walz in Crazy Taxi. Even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) seemed to be impressed by his gaming skills, remarking that he was “really good” and playfully asking if he drove like that in real life. With the election results still uncertain, it appears many gamers enjoyed watching the Governor play games with AOC. It’s unclear whether Walz will make another appearance on a game stream, but considering AOC’s past activities, she may host more Twitch streams down the line.
