Summary
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s running mate, suffered a personal setback in the 2024 election as he lost his home county, Blue Earth, to President-elect Donald Trump.
Trump won 49.6% of the vote there, while Harris received 48.3%, marking a symbolic defeat for Walz, who built his political career in the area.
Walz, a former teacher and congressman known for his moderate stance, had previously turned a Republican seat Democratic and won Minnesota’s governorship by a large margin in 2018.
His campaign faced challenges, including scrutiny over past statements about military service, which the Trump campaign leveraged as a “Stolen Valor” issue.
Fat worthless failure
Down vote all you want. They fucked up and now we are going to die.
This is the fault of the electorate. Full stop.
Everyone is at fault. People said they wouldn’t vote with inaction in Gaza. They chose not to take action, their fault. Those people didn’t vote, expected, but dumb, so their fault, too. Blaming JUST the people is a sure fire way to not correct course for the next election. Bernie has the right stance on this, as usual.
Even then, even if she won, there are still the same amount of people who are like: fat racist fascist? Sounds fantastic, i’ll build my personality around that guy
