Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is set to address his home state Friday afternoon following his loss on the Democratic presidential ticket.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz returned to his home state to offer a sobering message about his election loss. In his first public remarks since he was spotted teary-eyed at Vice President Kamala Harris ' concession speech , Walz acknowledged the pain he and other Democrats are feeling.

As Walz left the event, he was asked what was next for him. His reply was just one word: "Minnesota." He will continue to serve as the Governor of Minnesota, with two years left on his term.
