Democrat Senator Amy Klobuchar is running for governor of Minnesota to succeed Tim Walz. This is not a rumor. It has been widely reported.

Klobuchar launches bid for Minnesota governor
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) on Thursday officially threw her hat in the ring to run for governor of Minnesota.
“Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot,” she wrote on the social platform X. “And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other. I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong. Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Governor.”
Klobuchar, in a video message, referred to the June assassination of state Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman (D), a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis that left two children dead and more than a dozen injured, and the fatal shootings of residents Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration officials this month, as part of what the state’s residents have “been through.”
“Three thousand [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] agents on our streets and in our towns, sent by an administration that relishes division,” she added, referring to President Trump.
The aspect of this story that is not being reported, is the belief by many that if Klobuchar wins the race for governor, she will appoint Tim Walz to fill her vacant senate seat.
Under such an arrangement, Klobuchar and Walz would just be switching seats. Journalist Liz Collin of Minnesota talked about this on Watters’ World last night.
