Klobuchar Steps Down to Run for Governor

Senator Amy Klobuchar is leaving the Senate to run for governor of Minnesota, citing deep love for her home state and frustration with gridlocked Washington. With Governor Tim Walz stepping down abruptly, Klobuchar seized the opening — despite pressure to stay — and is now heavily favored to become Minnesota’s first female governor. She’s unveiled a bold 40-point plan to tackle pressing issues, including crime and public trust, and has already chosen her running mate, Ben Schierer. Known for her bipartisan record and relentless work ethic — including visiting every county annually — Klobuchar is positioning herself as the change-maker Minnesota needs, ready to act without patience.
