Hope Walz, the daughter of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, said Americans do "not deserve" Vice President Kamala Harris after the ticket topped by Harris and her father lost the 2024 presidential election to former President Donald Trump.
“I’ve officially reached the point of anger, and I’m not an angry person, so I’m just trying to channel it,” Hope said in a TikTok post shared on Thursday (November 7).
“This country does not deserve Kamala Harris. That woman should go live her best life wherever she wants doing whatever she wants because we don’t deserve her at this point,” she added. “The only people who delivered this election were black women and we failed them.”
Hope, 23, referred to Harris' election loss as "heartbreaking" and told Democrats to "do whatever we can to support them and our people through these next four years" under the second Trump administration, specifically mentioning the president-elect and his running mate JD Vance.
“These people have to live in their own skin, as in JD Vance and Donald Trump have to be JD Vance and Donald Trump and that is not a punishment I’d wish upon anybody but those two individuals,” she said. “I’m just really grateful I am who I am and I’m on the side of love and hope and joy and progress.”
Trump surpassed the 270 electoral college votes necessary to be elected by winning Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia, all states he previously lost to President Joe Biden in the 2020 election and became the first Republican candidate to win the popular election since former President George W. Bush in 2004.
