Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) is reportedly considering a run for Minnesota governor after Gov. Tim Walz (D) announced the end of his reelection campaign, but her track record is a mess of political scandals.
Walz, who was the Democrat party’s vice-presidential candidate just over a year ago, dropped out of the race in shame with a Monday morning statement whining over the growing Somali fraud scandal, Breitbart News’s John Nolte detailed.
Shortly after the news broke, the New York Times reported that Klobuchar is weighing a bid for gubernatorial office in Walz’s place.
The senator confirmed her interest in succeeding the governor when the pair met in Minnesota on Sunday to discuss plans, sources told the publication.
It has also been reported that part of the plan may be for Klobuchar to help keep Walz in public office, as she could make him a U.S. senator if she becomes governor.
According to Townhall’s Dustin Grage, the same sources who helped predict Walz’s rise to becoming former Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 running mate said “the plan is to clear the way for Amy Klobuchar, so she can appoint him to the U.S. Senate.”
Klobuchar, who is not up for reelection until 2030, can still remain in the Senate if she loses a bid for governor.
While Walz’s fraud-related scandals have been widely reported and garnered the ire of President Donald Trump and the Republican Party, Klobuchar’s own controversies have largely been pushed to the media cycle’s backburner.
While reporting for the Daily Caller in 2012, Matthew Boyle revealed that she helped keep a multibillion-dollar Ponzi schemer, Tom Petters, out of prison when she was the top prosecutor in Hennepin County in the late 1990s.

If elected, she will appoint Walz to her Senate seat.............
She runs for Governor and wins, then she names Walz to replace her in the Senate.
Minnesota politics is totally corrupt, naming Walz to replace her in the Senate would be the corrupt thing to do.
If elected, she will appoint Walz to her Senate seat
Crooks sticking together ,LOL
That will be great and then PRESIDENT TRUMP can go after HER azz to get our 20 Billion bucks from her Somali 0 I.Q. crowd learing center employees.
No way is she going to run for Governor to rule over that mess. She can milk her cushy Senate seat until shes 100…why would she give that up? Just stupid.
Somaligate happened on her watch.
Utterly shameless. Every last sleazy bastard one of them.
“why would she give that up?”
Power. She wants executive power. In addition, Senator and Governor look better on a resume in a run for President.
Jeff Childers today said, not gonna happen.
Read his column today. He’s rarely wrong on this stuff.
Be a smart & informed conservative. Read Coffee & Covid every day!
her current term ends in 2031. I think Walz got 52% of the vote last time and Amy got 56%. I think Amy could win if she doesn't get tainted by the fraud, we'll see.
Nope. We don’t need more of the same. She’s what the left and bureaucrats would bring in to run interference.
I would much rather be a Senator than Governor. Only need to run every 6 years. Can sit on lofty committees of national concern
Don't need to deal with ugly details like maintaining medicaid and urban hospitals, squeezing productive members of society for more taxes, crime, managing corrupt coalition demons like Somalis and public sector unions, etc....
Ya gotta wonder what this country is coming to when Amy eats salad with a hair comb, and Zohran eats sloppy stuff in a bowl with his fingers.
🤨
Double the stink.
The only way to get the Marxist label to stick is to start using it. Over and over and over again. Or try something original. Commucrat. Socialcrat. Anti-Americrat.
Idk, corrupt just seems too blasé.
LOLOL
From the Minnesota State Fair:
She rides her dads name. She will win.
meanwhile MNGOP is fixing to put the my pillow guy at the top of the ticket and sink their ship again.
Mike is a great guy with a great story, however he will NOT sell well in MN.
They’ll vote for her.
