Since Election Day, when Republican Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance, decisively defeated him and Vice President Kamala Harris, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has avoided one-on-one interviews.

However, he provided a glimpse into his post-election reflections during a news conference at the Minnesota State Capitol. The event, held to celebrate the state’s turkey industry ahead of Thanksgiving, was reported by KSTP.com last week.

“No regrets,” he said in response to a reporter’s question. “I regret few things in life other than I didn’t get a dog sooner. That’s my biggest regret. But no, I’m proud to have been part of that [campaign]. I think we put a message out that 75 million liked, but not quite enough.”

The Harris-Walz ticket lost all seven key battleground states, along with the national popular vote. While Governor Tim Walz was optimistic heading into Election Day, he remains realistic about the outcome. He finds some solace in the fact that the campaign gave him the chance to highlight Minnesota on a national stage.

“To be honest, glad to tell Minnesota’s story,” he said. “That we get things done together and (showed) we’re pretty hopeful people.”

The outlet also noted that the upcoming legislative session, where Democrats and Republicans will share power for the first time since 2021, will serve as a test of Walz’s optimism. He said that the release of the state budget forecast this month will put more light on how far the collaboration will extend as well as what money will be available.

“I think at this time we’re waiting to see (how) the forecast comes in,” he said. “We will get an opportunity then to see what the incoming (Trump) administration will do in mid-January and then we will get the opportunity to put out our budget and then a revised budget when the February numbers actually come in.”

He noted further that he’s concerned about a potential trade war that could impact Minnesota’s agricultural industry, KSTP.com added.

Walz also talked to supporters in a recent video:

A new “cringey” video clip of Harris, who hasn’t been seen much in public much following her humiliating loss to Trump, took social media by storm this week.

In a clip shared on the social media platform X on Thursday, Harris dropped in and addressed a group of black state legislators, showcasing her often-discussed and ever-changing accent.

“I knew y’all were in town. I couldn’t let it go without coming by to say, ‘Hello,’” Harris told attendees at the National Black Caucus of State Legislators 48th Annual Conference.

Jake Schneider of Trump’s social media team, who posted the clip, noted that Harris “brought back the fake accent.”

Others noted the accent, while some on X said she had finally come out of hiding after Trump walloped her in the polls.

“JUST IN: Kamala Harris has emerged from the basement, showing up and bringing her *NEW* black accent. This chick is never going to learn,” social media monitor Nick Sortor observed.

“JUST IN: Kamala climbs out from underneath a rock to debut new accent at the National Black Caucus of State Legislators conference,” the account Breaking911 posted.

Other users made similar comments, with one even questioning whether she was sober.
