Tim Walz Says He Was ‘a Little Surprised’ Trump Won

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) told KSTP that he was “a little surprised” that he and Vice President Kamala Harris lost the presidential election.

Said Walz: “It felt like at the rallies, at the things I was going to, the shops I was going in, that the momentum was going our way, and it obviously wasn’t at the end. So yeah, I was a little surprised. I thought we had a positive message, and I thought the country was ready for that.”

New York Times: “Mr. Walz’s admission that he was surprised by Ms. Harris’s defeat was at odds with a more dour assessment of the campaign’s chances by its senior leaders.”
