Gov. Walz Breaks Silence After VP Harris Loses Big To Trump

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has not participated in any one-on-one interviews since Election Day, when the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign was defeated by Republican Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance.

However, he offered a glimpse into his thoughts following the loss during a news conference at the Minnesota State Capitol, where he celebrated the state’s turkey industry in preparation for the Thanksgiving holiday, KSTP.com reported on Tuesday.

“No regrets,” he said in response to a reporter’s question. “I regret few things in life other than I didn’t get a dog sooner. That’s my biggest regret. But no, I’m proud to have been part of that [campaign]. I think we put a message out that 75 million liked, but not quite enough.”

The Harris-Walz ticket lost all seven key battleground states, along with the national popular vote. While Governor Tim Walz was optimistic heading into Election Day, he remains realistic about the outcome. He finds some solace in the fact that the campaign gave him the chance to highlight Minnesota on a national stage.

“To be honest, glad to tell Minnesota’s story,” he said. “That we get things done together and (showed) we’re pretty hopeful people.”

Now, the outlet noted, Walz will put his optimism to the test with the upcoming legislative session, where Democrats will share power with Republicans for the first time since 2021. He noted that it will become clearer how they will collaborate and how much funding they’ll have to work with once the state budget forecast is released next week.
