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.
Nope. My secret is safe. I’ll give another hint. Those were the only fire arms we carried underway, and they were mostly considered a joke. Especially the 50cal.
Underway? Joke? Definitely the Coast Guard then. That, or potentially the Navy, which would also make sense, but I’m going with the coast guard.
