Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) confirmed a run for Minnesota governor Thursday, hoping to fill the gap left after Gov. Tim Walz (D) announced the end of his reelection campaign. The 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee, Walz abandoned his campaign for a third term earlier this month amid mounting criticism over mismanagement of taxpayer funding for child care programs. “Minnesota, we’ve been through a lot,” Klobuchar said in a video announcement Thursday as reported by AP. While Walz’s scandals have been widely covered, Klobuchar will now be entering the gubernatorial race with past experiences of her own which will get fresh scrutiny.
