How did Hope Walz's life change when her dad was chosen as Kamala Harris's running mate?
Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the Find Out Podcast. And as I'm just starting... Rich has joined us. We're starting two minutes after two, so we always have to give Rich a little shit for being late. But anyways, the news has been crazy over the last couple weeks, and we're actually really, really excited about our guest today that I think you all will know. You all know her from the 2024 campaign. It is, do we refer to you as the first daughter of Minnesota? Yeah, Minnesota.
If you want.
Yeah.
Hope Walls, everybody. Hope is with us. Thanks for joining us.
Thanks for having me. I'm so excited to be here.
Oh, we are excited as well. And actually, I asked our audience on social some questions for you, but the one that everybody wanted me to ask over and over again is, how are you doing?
Yeah, I'm okay. I think, yeah, I'm okay.
What challenges did Hope face after her father's political nomination?
It's obviously been, I mean, like an insane year and a half, I'd say at this point. And then the past month has been especially bizarre and heavy. And then even the, you know, this past week has just been, you know, a lot. So we're hanging in there. We're hanging in there.
Good. Well, I want to go back before we get to all of the stuff that is more recent. But, you know, A year and a half ago, you were the you were the daughter of a governor. So like, obviously, there was a bit of a profile associated with that. And then in August, your life, I assume, got turned upside down. So I just would like to kick off with like, what was that all like? How much of it did you know? And like, how how did your life change the second that your dad was picked to be Kamala Harris's vice presidential candidate?
Yeah, I think. I mean, it came on like very fast. I remember like where I was when President Biden decided to drop out of the race. And then I remember like, you know, in the next couple of days getting a text from my dad and it's like, we've been asked to submit. paperwork or, you know, whatever, however that all works. I was in Montana at the time, um, and got like strep throat.
How does Hope Walz feel about the murder of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent?
So I was like down for the count for veep stakes, just like doom scrolling, like all day, every day. Um, but it just like progressively got more and more real. Um, and then I remember like the day before we still didn't really know anything, but my parents are like, just come home, like just fly home, put the flight, you know, On on our card or on your credit card and we'll deal with it later. And so I got home at like midnight the night before. My uncle picked me up from the airport and he's like, there's reporters outside your house and you can't be seen going into your house because we don't know anything. We don't want anybody to think we know anything because we don't. So you have to hide. So I'm like crouched in the front seat, like sneaking into my own house.
And then I get there and then the next morning we get the call from the vice president was like, do you want to join this ticket? And I was like sitting in the room with my dad. And then within like an hour, we're on a flight to Philly. And so it was just like devastating. One day I was in my little apartment in Bozeman, Montana. And the next day I'm like watching my dad give this speech in front of, you know, thousands of people. And it just it all happened so quickly. And then it didn't slow down until after the election.
So. And correct me, I heard reports of this. You can confirm or deny.
What is Hope's perspective on the political attacks against her family?
My understanding is that the first time that the vice president called your dad, he actually either sent it to voicemail or just ignored it. Was that true?
He missed the first call. Yeah, he missed the first call. I think it was a little bit insane. My mom wasn't home. She was at an event. And I think... we were running all over the place and my, his, my dad's mom. So my grandma happened to be staying at our house. And so there was a lot going on, but he did indeed miss, miss the first call. And then he made the second one.
Thankfully.
Yeah. Yeah.
So what does he say to you with like, when he, after the call, is he like the vice president just asked me to be a running mate?
