Since Election Day, Republican Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance, decisively defeated Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Walz, who didn’t conduct any one-on-one interviews, spoke candidly about his thoughts following the loss during a news conference. He expressed no regrets about the campaign, though he wished he’d gotten a dog sooner. Walz acknowledged the campaign’s strong message but recognized it wasn’t enough to win. Despite the loss in all seven key battleground states, Walz found solace in showcasing Minnesota on a national stage during the election.
