Governor Walz (D-MN) just announced he’s not running for re-election, which would be his third term, so once again Minnesota will not have a three-peat governor.
I’ve been wondering if Walz was going to be stubborn and drag down the Minnesota Democrats, as while I doubt there was an intent to permit the crimes, it has become big enough to suggest a failure to manage effectively. By exiting the race, voters can vote for whoever wins the primary. Lt Governor Flanagan (D-MN), currently running for Senator Smith’s (D-MN) seat, might consider running for the governor’s seat, which may be more attainable.
We shall see.
