Walz to address donors for first time since election loss
Democrat vice presidential candidate Tim Walz is scheduled to address prominent Democrat donors on Tuesday during a phone call for the first time since his 2024 election loss amid questions about his political future.
Walz has been pretty much in hiding since the election, along with his partner on the ticket Vice President Kamala Harris.
Haris will join him in talking to the donors, who might have questions about why their campaign is tens of millions of dollars in debt despite raising over $1 billion dollars.
An invitation to the call read, “Your support and leadership made this campaign possible and the Vice President and Governor Walz are looking forward to having the opportunity to reconnect and express their appreciation for your partnership and support."
Uncertain future
Walz has gone back to posting about Minnesota on social media and Harris to her seemingly do-nothing job as vice president.
He will be governor until 2026 and could run again because there are not term limits in place in the state.
“Chin up, team. Take some time. Take care of yourself. Take care of your loved ones. Take care of your community. There are a million ways to make a difference — get back in the fight when you’re ready. And know that, whenever you are ready, I’ll be ready to get back in with you,” Walz posted Nov. 8.
He also posted "Happy Sunday" on the date of a recent Vikings win.
"A lot of feelings"
His daughter Hope Walz said on TikTok that the family was "feeling a lot of feelings."
Harris chose Walz based on his popularity in his state, but several inconsistencies came to light regarding statements he had made about his record in the military and as governor.
Ultimately, he was not able to give a struggling Harris much of a boost in polling and the pair could not overcome deficits in support related to President Joe Biden and Harris's record over the last four years.
A majority of voters did not want to see any more of the progressive agenda of the Democrats enacted, and both candidates and donors are going to have to regroup as they deal with that reality.
Even Walz's brother supported President-elect Donald Trump over his own brother.
That should tell you everything you need to know about the come-t0-Jesus moment the Democrat party needs right now.
