Following President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s win, which crushed the aspirations of Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Walz&#8217;s children have turned to TikTok to share their feelings about this new chapter in their lives. Hope Walz, the governor&#8217;s daughter, posted a video while driving with her brother Gus, where they expressed their relief at being free from Secret Service protection for the first time since their father&#8217;s loss. The clip has gained traction on social media platform X. In it, they conveyed that they were doing well and provided an update on their father&#8217;s governorship amidst Trump&#8217;s presidency. While Hope looked ahead to her father&#8217;s future work under Trump, Gus seemed simply relieved that the election was over. This sentiment of being &#8220;finally free&#8221; reflects a sense of liberation for them both as individuals with personal aspirations outside of politics. Unlike candidates who often face scrutiny for choosing this path themselves, it&#8217;s important to remember that politicians&#8217; families did not ask for this experience and may struggle with its demands<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2368502,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Walz-Family.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[44945,36618,32438,32171,36113],"class_list":["post-2368501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-childrens-perspective","tag-election-2023","tag-kamala-harris","tag-political-commentary","tag-tim-walz"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Walz-Family.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2368501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2368501"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2368501\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2368505,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2368501\/revisions\/2368505"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2368502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2368501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2368501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2368501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
