Tim Walz brought nothing to the Kamala Harris ticket. It was a terrible policy decision out of the gate, and one that actually hurt her polling in Minnesota. Not enough to flip the state red, but enough to help Donald Trump secure the popular vote.
Minnesota:
Harris/Walz 1,653,859 votes 51.1%
Trump/Vance 1,516,439 votes 46.9%
A lot of it has to do with the fact Walz is just a weird man and a terrible governor. Lifelong Minnesota residents fled to Iowa thanks to his mismanagement of the state, and Minneapolis is in ruins.
Voters in Minnesota know, and in Tim's home county, they rejected Walz and his running mate:

OUCH.
More from The New York Post:
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.
This is the county where Walz taught and coached and they rejected him.
MelanieThe BarnOwl (@MelOwl5) ~ It probably didn't help that his wife is even weirder than him. Lovely couple. 🤡
Gwen Walz is weirder than Tim and that's quite the accomplishment.
They're both bizarre sleazebags.
We're not surprised.
We'll see what happens when he's up for reelection.
Todd of misCHəf (@AndToddsaid) ~ Walz also lost Cuming County, NE, where he was born, Cherry County, NE, where he grew up, Boyd County, NE, where he attended high school, Dawes County, NE, where he went to college, and Box Butte, County, NE, where he taught and coached. Not to mention, he lost Nebraska overall.
Hard Pass (@HardPass4) ~ Unshocking considering his whole extended family are Trump supporters.
moebian VI enthusiast (@inutinsocks) ~ LMAOOOOOOOOO! Say what you will about Kamala, but this guy is a fucking scumbag. You really love to see it.
