Tampon Tim Walz dropped out of the race for a third term as Minnesota governor.
Supposedly, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) wants to fill Walz’s seat.
The New York Times reported that Walz and Klobuchar met on Sunday. These sources claimed that Walz “informed her of his plans and she confirmed her interest in running to succeed him.”
Klobuchar told Walz she was considering running for governor.
Walz made his announcement on Monday morning, citing the alleged massive Somali fraud in his statement while making excuses and claiming the Republicans stand in the way of making changes.
“For the last several years, an organized group of criminals have sought to take advantage of our state’s generosity,” Walz stated. “And even as we make progress in the fight against the fraudsters, we now see an organized group of political actors seeking to take advantage of the crisis.”
It all began in late November when whistleblowers claimed Walz retaliated against them after they exposed how members of the Somali program scammed the state’s social services programs, including Medicaid, to send back to Somalia.
A report found that those people used the money for luxury homes, cars, and vacations.
The whistleblowers also said they alerted Kamala Harris and the DNC about Walz, the fraud scandals, and his retaliation.
The fraud exploded when Nick Shirley exposed the alleged Somali daycare fraud scheme.
Shirley’s story finally made the national media pay attention…somewhat. Of course, instead of concentrating on Walz and the fraudsters, the media has tried to discredit Shirley.
And, of course, Walz’s announcement forced the media’s hand further, prompting them to report the fraud schemes in detail.
So what about Klobuchar? Well, Klobuchar is well known, even outside of Minnesota. She’s served four terms in the Senate, winning her elections “by at least 16 percentage points.”
“I think it’s kind of a no-brainer for the Democrats for her to step in this space, and I think it all but assures them victory coming up,” said Sean Oyaas, a former top political aide on the Walz-Flanagan campaign, according to The Hill.
Oyaas described Klobuchar as “the most popular Democrat in Minnesota” over the last 15 to 20 years.
Corey Day, the former executive of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, knows that Democrats have a massive shot at winning the governor’s race.
However, Day believes Klobuchar would be the favorite in the primary and general election.
But even if Klobuchar jumps in the race, it doesn’t mean other Democrats will steer clear of it.
The Minnesota Star Tribune suggested Attorney General Keith Ellison, even though he already announced he’s seeking another term.
Yes, the man who used to organize for Louis Farrakhan and became a go-to for anti-Israel activists when he served in Congress.
The publication then name-dropped Secretary of State Steve Simon, even though he said “governor wasn’t his preferred job.”
Simon announced his re-election bid in December.
