Failed veep candidate Tim Walz couldn’t even beat Trump in his home county in telling final blow

No hometown glory here.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz didn’t just lose the overall election to Donald Trump — he even lost his home county to him, too.

President-elect Trump’s overwhelmingly win saw him net 49.6% of the vote in Minnesota’s Blue Earth County, where Walz’s family lived for 20 years before he was elected governor. Walz’s running mate, Vice President Kamala Harris, fell short with about 48.3% of the vote.

That is a reversal from 2020, when now-President Biden handily won the county with 51% of the vote to Trump’s 46.5%, according to POLITICO.

Walz was born in Nebraska but moved to Blue Earth County as an adult, where he taught social studies and coached football at Mankato West High School.

He flipped the state’s 1st Congressional District for the Democrats in 2006, and represented the area in Congress for 12 years.

Walz then ran for governor, defeating his Republican opponent by double digits in 2018.

Minnesota’s 10 electoral votes ultimately went to Harris early Wednesday – but Trump still beat the Democratic ticket when he was the first to reach 270 electoral nods. ***

The old playbook of pretending to be a rural, common sense guy until getting voted in to office and showing your true fascist far left side . . . eventually you get outed.

NewScum will eventually be indicted for his corrupt ties to the CCP, money laundering, and a long list of crimes.

NewScum is a turd waiting to be flushed.

Do a search on Greasy NewScum and his corruption. You will find a very long list including a bioweapons lab in CA.

His weird-ass wife and her “TURN THE PAAAGE.”

May they now shuffle off into irrelevancy.

Soros installed SS with Keith Ellison as his wingman.

Together they are the Legion of Doom responsible for many shenanigans and dirty tricks behind the scenes with the most recent being RFK Jr remaining on the ballot.

Blue Earth County going for Trump is a surprise as the students at Minnesota State University (I have my Masters Degree from that institution) would be expected to heavily vote for Harris. Tampon Tim is politically dead in Minnesota and I doubt could be elected dog catcher in even leftist Minneapolis.

Remember, Gore would have won in 2000 except that he could not carry his home state of Tennessee.

As horrible as the cackling whore was, this ridiculous assclown was somehow even worse.

I heard on the radio that the Minnesota legislature went Republican. He is probably crapping a corn cob knowing that he has to go back to his state under those conditions.
