Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was roasted online after posting a video of himself, his wife, and their Christmas tree after users noticed something odd.
Users posted comments about some of the odd ornaments on the tree, including one that appeared to be an angel ornament made of toilet paper.
“Hey Hope, Mom, and Dad here,” the failed vice presidential contender said on his X video as his wife waved at the camera. He added that they had “finished decorating the family Christmas tree,” which was decked with “all of the homemade ornaments” the family had made over the years.
The governor showcased a number of the ornaments in the short video, saving the ‘toilet paper angel’ for last.
“Hey Hope, we got the final one,” he said before placing it at the top of the tree. “You’re gonna love this: Toilet paper roll angel.”
Several people posted their comments online in response to the “weird” video.

Meanwhile, Walz provided a glimpse into his post-election reflections during a news conference at the Minnesota State Capitol earlier this month. The event, held to celebrate the state’s turkey industry ahead of Thanksgiving, was reported by KSTP.com.
“No regrets,” he said in response to a reporter’s question. “I regret few things in life other than I didn’t get a dog sooner. That’s my biggest regret. But no, I’m proud to have been part of that [campaign]. I think we put a message out that 75 million liked, but not quite enough.”
The Harris-Walz ticket lost all seven key battleground states, along with the national popular vote. While Governor Tim Walz was optimistic heading into Election Day, he remains realistic about the outcome. He finds some solace in the fact that the campaign gave him the chance to highlight Minnesota on a national stage.
Vice President Kamala Harris is not planning to “go quietly into the night” after she was thumped in the 2024 presidential election.
During a segment on CNN, reporter Isaac Dovere revealed that Harris privately tells backers she is considering running for governor of California in 2026 or president in 2028. Harris also reportedly does not want her “final act” to be certifying Donald Trump’s election victory over her.
“We haven’t seen or heard much from Vice President Kamala Harris since she lost the election last month,” CNN’s Manu Raju told CNN’s viewers. “But the Democratic Party still reeling from Trump’s victory.”
Dovere said that Harris is mulling two options.
“What she’s been saying to people over the last couple of weeks, donors, other supporters that she’s been talking with, As you haven’t seen the last of me, I’m not going quietly into the night. Advisers, people close to her are debating about what that means. They do not want her final official act ever to be essentially certifying Donald Trump’s win over her, especially four years after January 6th. And so they look at this governor’s race in California in 2026, and it seems to them like a layup essentially, that she would probably clear the field or mostly clear the field and she would get to be governor of California,” Dovere said.
“But if she does that, that means that she couldn’t turn around and run for president again in 2028. She’d need to essentially declare right away. And that is what it really comes down to because there are people close to her who say she didn’t get a fair shot this year,” Dovere added.
Dovere continued, “It wasn’t it wasn’t up to what she could have done. And look how well she performed anyway. She should get to go again in 2020. And then there are ones who say, look, with where things are with the Democratic Party at it, she would not have a clear field or a cleared field, rather, in the Democratic primary and could lose the nomination. And to come off of 2024 into that would be really terrible.”
Harris allegedly told associates she was “staying in the fight” and considering a 2028 presidential campaign or a California gubernatorial run in 2026, prompting Democratic strategist Theryn Bond to urge Harris not to run for president again.
