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.

Though Minnesota was close to swinging right, the state traditionally backs Democratic candidates, the outlet explained.

The last time the state voted for a Republican for president was Richard Nixon in 1972.
