Hope Walz, the daughter of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, expressed her frustration and disappointment following her father and Kamala Harris’s loss in the recent presidential election.
Taking to TikTok on Thursday, the 23-year-old shared her “initial post-election thoughts.” She was seen eating “SpongeBob mac and cheese” in the video and watching the Netflix show Outer Banks. “I’ve officially reached the point of anger, and I’m not an angry person, so I’m just trying to channel it,” she explained to her followers.
“This country does not deserve Kamala Harris,” she said, adding, “That woman should go live her best life wherever she wants, doing whatever she wants because we don’t deserve her at this point.”

“The only people who delivered this election were Black women, and we failed them,” she remarked, acknowledging their role while urging Democrats to “do whatever we can to support them and our people through these next four years” under the Trump 2.0.

“I’m just really grateful I am who I am, and I’m on the side of love and hope and joy and progress.”
Acknowledging the heartbreak of the loss, “I’m giving myself the week to be sad and to mourn what could’ve been, what should’ve been,” she shared. “But that’s not where we are, and that’s not reality… then the work starts. We got this, America. Going to be OK.”
