According to two informed sources cited by The New York Times, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is anticipated to reveal he is quitting his pursuit of a third term, while Senator Amy Klobuchar is weighing a campaign for the governorship.
The outlet details a Sunday meeting in Minnesota where Walz disclosed his exit strategy – and Klobuchar signaled her willingness to replace him – concluding the former 2024 vice presidential nominee's short era on the national stage.
The publication noted that the governor has arranged a Monday morning press conference to formalize his withdrawal, relying on accounts from individuals who were not permitted to speak publicly.
As stated by the report, the two Democrats utilized their Sunday session to analyze the election.
A spokesperson for the governor declined to speak, and the outlet indicated that the senator ignored requests for a statement.
