Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar on Thursday formally launched her campaign for governor, pledging to be a “transformative” leader of a state that has been rocked by protests over the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. Klobuchar, who is serving her fourth term in the Senate, is likely to consolidate support within the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party in her bid to succeed Gov. “These times call for leaders who can stand up and not be rubber stamps of this administration, but who are also willing to find common ground and fix things in our state,” Klobuchar said in her announcement video. That’s why today, I am announcing my candidacy for governor of the state of Minnesota.”If she wins, Klobuchar would be the state’s first female governor.
