Walz tells supporters to ‘find the place in your community to heal’

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Vice President Harris's running mate, called on supporters to find a way to heal after Democrats lost the election to President-elect Trump earlier this month.

“I hope all of you take care of yourselves, take care of your families, find the place in your community to heal both yourselves and your community, and then when you’re ready to get back in this fight, because it continues on," Walz said in a video message.

"And I know that I’ve said it often on the campaign trail, I’m preaching to the choir, I couldn’t be prouder to be with a choir that’s on this call,” he added.

The message was an excerpt from Harris and Waltz' conversation Tuesday with the Democratic Party's financial committee, where spoke to top donors about the election as the campaign’s spending has been under scrutiny.

Harris, on the call, attempted to share optimism with her supporters, advising them to hold onto their “power.” She thanked the donors for backing the ticket despite it coming short earlier this month.

She also noted that the campaign raised nearly $1.5 billion during the roughly three-month campaign run. Almost 8 million donors contributed to the ticket with an average donation being $56, she added.

Other members of the Harris-Walz campaign team went on the “Pod Save America” podcast Tuesday to give insight into the campaign’s decision-making process.

Stephanie Cutter, a senior adviser to the campaign, said Harris “wasn’t willing” to publicly break with President Biden while Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon defended the vice president amid claims that she dodged the media.
