Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s (D) stunning decision to drop his reelection bid is raising speculation that Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) may run for the seat, thrilling members of her party at a time when they find themselves ensnared in a growing political scandal over widespread fraud. The New York Times reported that Walz and Klobuchar met on Sunday, a day before Walz officially announced his move to forgo a run for a third term. A source close to Klobuchar told NewsNation she was “considering it” but hadn’t made a final decision yet. A potential Klobuchar gubernatorial bid is seen as...

So far, Amy Klobuchar has not been associated directly with the Feeding Our Future, daycare, autism, and other Somali-led frauds that have taken down Tim Walz. But then again, the scandal has not obviously damaged Attorney General Keith Ellison, or any of the many other Minnesota Democrats who have had ties as close or closer to the fraud as Tim Walz. Our Pravda Media has, until recently, been so incurious about the fraud that has eaten half of Minnesota's Medicaid budget that only Walz has been tarred by the scandal. But 2026 is an election year, and the smart money...

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...

Walz, who has governed the North Star State since 2019 and presided over the devastating George Floyd riots, was relatively unknown before Harris announced him as her vice presidential nominee in August 2024. He was instantly praised (by journalists) as the paragon of Midwestern charm and “modern masculinity.” Alas, the national spotlight quickly exposed Walz as a bumbling fabulist with a bizarre penchant for fabulous gesticulations on the stump. He lied about serving in combat and being in China during the Tiananmen Square massacre. He disgraced himself on the debate stage next to J.D. Vance. Walz’s exit from the 2026...

The ongoing Somali fraud scandal has brought an end to Governor Tim Walz’s political career in Minnesota. He announced this morning that he will not seek a third term. Here is Walz’s full statement via KTTC: In September, I announced that I would run for a historic third term as Minnesota’s Governor. And I have every confidence that, if I gave it my all, I would succeed in that effort. But as I reflected on this moment with my family and my team over the holidays, I came to the conclusion that I can’t give a political campaign my all....

This week, a person who was "tired of being trans" opened fire on praying students at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Two children were killed and 17 others were wounded. The killer's manifesto complained "gender and weed f**ked up my head. I wish I never tried experimenting with either. Don't let your kids smoke weed or change gender until they are like seventeen." The heinous crime sparked outrage among many public officials. Mayor Jacob Frey (D) warned "the most important thing is that we not blame the 'trans community' for this tragedy." He insisted that "anti-trans hate is...

In the letter, Boelter claims to have been "trained by U.S. Military people off the books" and says that Gov. Tim Walz wanted him to kill U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith . .. Federal authorities announced a six-count indictment on Tuesday against Vance Boelter in connection to his “planned campaign of stalking and violence” that “shook Minnesota to its core” last month. With it, they released disturbing new details of Boelter’s alleged crimes, including his full confession letter addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel. Boelter is accused of murdering Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark in the...

OK, we're going to go with the 24-hour rule on this one … and if it's true, the legacy media will memory-hole it. First: 🚨 BREAKING: Vance Boelter has just been formally indicted on federal charges for the murders of Melissa and Mark Hortman. Throw the book at him. It's official, then: he's been indicted for the murder of a Minnesota state lawmaker and his wife. Investigate reporter Liz Allen says Vance Boelter's letter has been released in full, and it's a doozy: The post continues: … knows me and see what he says?" h/t @lizcollin "… public." The Star...

Have you wondered why the story of the Minnesota assassin Vance Boelter has suddenly vanished from the news? Now we have a pretty good idea why. Boelter, who murdered State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband while also shooting State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, unleashed terror that sparked a massive manhunt before his capture late Sunday. Initial media coverage was rife with speculation, with left-leaning outlets eager to cast Boelter as a MAGA Republican, hastily blaming the GOP and even President Donald Trump for inciting his shooting spree. Yet the letter found in Boelter’s abandoned vehicle tells a...

Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with former state House Speaker Melissa Hortman shortly before before she was tragically gunned down in her home alongside her husband. Klobuchar (D-Minn.) was informed about the heartbreaking loss by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) around 5 a.m. Saturday. “I wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told Politico. “I was there when she was doorknocking in the beginning. … I was in county office and she was seeking the legislative office.” Hortman, who served as state speaker from 2019 until January 2025, was killed alongside her husband, Mark, early Saturday in...

House Agriculture Committee Chair Glenn Thompson (R-Penn) defended the proposed cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), saying "SNAP was never intended to be the entitlement welfare that Democrats have turned it into. Our Bill is putting it back on course by implementing 20 hours per week work requirements for able-bodied adults between the ages of 18 and 64 years old, excluding candy, snacks, junk food, and soda from being eligible for SNAP purchases, booting illegal migrants from the benefit rolls and shifting 5% of the cost burden of the program from the federal government to the states." "How...

Pro Tip, Senator Klobuchar: if you want to give people the impression that Donald Trump and the Republicans are looking to starve women and children out of spite, it's better not to put that message out there by dragging out a morbidly obese public employee as the face of your cause. Senator … I … I don’t know how to put this nicely but please fire your social media team. https://t.co/U94IliEtnm— Jarvis (@jarvis_best) June 12, 2025Today, we heard from Felecia, a single mom of four who works up to three jobs at a time to make ends meet. She counts...

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that President Donald Trump was “hell bent on inflaming the situation” in Los Angeles by sending the National Guard to address protests. Klobuchar said, “Every governor is going to make their own decisions based on the situation. In this case, Governor Newsom has made clear that he wants local law enforcement protecting the citizens, and he has asked the president not to inflame the situation. In Governor Walz’s case, as you pointed out in the earlier segment, he did bring in the National Guard. I would also point out...

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that a federal court’s decision to halt President Donald Trump’s tariffs showed he was not a “king.” Host Lawrence O’Donnell said, “I know this is a big a big night for Minnesota with Canada as your your biggest trading partner next door. You were up in Canada last week. You have a whole new discussion now to be had with Canada. None of Donald Trump’s tariffs apply anymore.” Klobuchar said, “We do and I will say, number one, you and I have been nerding out on this over and...

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that former President Joe Biden should have dropped out of the 2024 presidential race earlier so Democrats could have had a primary. Host Kristen Welker said, “Senator, would the party have had a better chance at winning in 2024 had President Biden dropped out sooner?” Klobuchar said, “You know, everything we look at in a rear-view mirror after you lose an election. Yes, we would have been served better by a primary, but we are where we are. We’re not on the History Channel right now, and I believe...

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Trump administration officials should be held in contempt of court for their actions in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Klobuchar said, “What you see right now is the courts doing their jobs. This is not just the district court. There is an appeals court with an opinion that was unanimous, written by a very conservative judge who had been appointed by Ronald Reagan. They made clear when you have something you did wrong, which the government did here, they admitted they shouldn’t have deported him. It...

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said that “If you believe in capitalism, like I do, if you believe that the market has given us this incredible country,” you should address healthcare costs, housing, child care, and reducing the amount of debt the U.S. has and Congress “should be reducing some of the burden on people who make less, but actually increasing some of the corporate taxes so we can bring more funds in to do something about the debt.” Klobuchar said, “If you believe in capitalism, like I do, if you believe that the...

Democratic strategist James Carville suggested the Trump administration will “collapse” within 30 days as the public reacts to the sweeping actions from the executive branch. “I believe that this administration, in less than 30 days is in the midst of a massive collapse and particularly a collapse in public opinion,” Carville said during a conversation with Mediaite’s Dan Abrams about the Trump administration’s unprecedented recent actions. Abrams asked Carville to clarify what he meant to confirm that Carville believes the administration will crumble shortly. “It’s collapsing right now. We’re in the midst of a collapse,” Carville replied. “This is the...

Democrat political genius James Carville predicted that "the Trump Administration is collapsing right now. We're in the midst of a collapse. I've never been mistaken." Fact check: Carville predicted Kamala Harris would defeat Trump for the presidency last November. Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash) said "billionaire Elon Musk and President Trump are proving every single day they do not know what they are doing. They are cutting expenditures that experts have declared are vital to our national interests. They are firing employees who lifetime employment rights have been guaranteed. They will soon have a mutiny on their hands." Sen. Amy Klobuchar...
