Klobuchar Considers Run for Minnesota Governor After Walz Ends Reelection Bid

Gov. Tim Walz said he would not seek another term as Minnesota governor, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar is considering a run to succeed him. Center outlets treat the announcement as a change in the governor’s race, reporting Walz’s stated reasons for leaving and Klobuchar’s possible candidacy.
