Tim Walz to address Dem donors as uncertainty swirls about political future



Failed veep candidate Tim Walz is reportedly going to address the defeated Dems’ 2024 donors Tuesday — after going into obscurity in the weeks following his devastating loss with Vice President Kamala Harris.

The Minnesota gov, 60 — who has yet to reveal his future political plans — is set to join Harris in talking with their backers about the pair’s losing presidential ticket, according to NewsNation.

The group phone call is expected to reiterate appreciation for their biggest supporters — as the Harris-Walz campaign remains millions of dollars in debt despite raising more than $1 billion in their doomed run for the White House, the outlet said.

“Your support and leadership made this campaign possible and the Vice President and Governor Walz are looking forward to having the opportunity to reconnect and express their appreciation for your partnership and support,” the invite reads, with the Dem’s National Finance Committee call being scheduled for Tuesday at 2:45 p.m.

Walz and Harris have both been quiet about their future political plans since losing all seven battleground states to the Trump-Vance Republican ticket.

Walz told reporters that “Minnesota” was his priority after departing Harris’ concession speech Nov. 6, and he has gone back to being governor full time in the North Star State.

His term for Minnesota governor is up in 2026, but he could run again, as he is not term-limited in the state.

Walz’s last statement on his campaign X account indicated he was “ready” to “fight” for his Democratic values, but it did not specifically address what his political future could look like.

“Chin up, team. Take some time. Take care of yourself. Take care of your loved ones. Take care of your community. There are a million ways to make a difference—get back in the fight when you’re ready. And know that, whenever you are ready, I’ll be ready to get back in with you,” Walz posted Nov. 8.

He has since been making celebratory X posts about the Minnesota Vikings, clean energy and Transgender Day of Remembrance on his gubernatorial account.

“Another stress-free Vikings win. Happy Sunday, folks,” Walz wrote over the weekend.

Walz’s daughter, Hope Walz, provided a bit more insight into how her household is dealing with her father’s loss.

She said the family was discussing the “hierarchy of needs” and “feeling a whole lot of feelings” — and told her TikTok followers that it’s important to make changes on the “ground level.”

The governor’s Trump-supporting brother, Jeff Walz, told The Post he had not spoken to the former veep hopeful since the election and doesn’t know if he will run for gubernatorial office again.

Walz’s office did not respond to an inquiry from The Post on Monday.
