Just over a year after his unsuccessful run for vice-president of the United States, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has said he will “never again” seek elected office.
Walz, who served as Kamala Harris’s running mate in the 2024 presidential election, made the remark during an interview with MS Now.
“I will never run for an elected office again,” he said. “Never again.”
“Look, I recognize that I’m a lightning rod,” he continued.
“I know they hate me personally, and they take it out on my constituents.”
Walz recently announced that he would not seek re-election as governor after it emerged he had overseen billions of childcare fraud at the hands of the state’s large Somali community.
