Tim Walz, the running mate of Democratic Presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, has expressed his disappointment following the victory of Donald Trump at the polls.
Addressing a mammoth crowd in Eagan, Minnesota, Walz said the outcome of the election has left him searching for answers.
The New Diplomat reports that Walz and Harris lost the US presidential election to Trump and his running mate, Vice President-elect JD Vance.
The Democrats failed to secure any of the seven battleground states.Reacting to the defeat, Walz said it is hard to understand why Americans decided to vote for Trump.
He said: “It’s hard to understand why so many of our fellow citizens, people who we have fought so long and hard for, wound up choosing the other path.
“It’s hard to reckon with what that path looks like for the next four years.”
Walz thanked Kamala Harris for selecting him as her running mate and for her friendship.
He also vowed to fight against any attempt by Trump’s administration to run a “hateful agenda”.
He added: “Look, we know what’s coming down the pike. We know it because they told us.
“The moment they try and bring a hateful agenda in this state, I’m going to stand ready to stand up and fight.”
