BREAKING: Tim Walz Drops Out of Minnesota Governor Race - Lemmy.World

Thinking about it, it’s probably not a terrible move on his part, overall. Dems can probably retain the governorship and this frees him to do other things. His replacement is probably worse, but it’s not like he’s retiring (although with how awful people are to him and his family, taking a break might be a good personal move… he has compassion and the attacks on his family probably really hurt).
Peggy Flanagan is a great replacement if she runs and wins.
That would be quite the pivot since she is currently campaigning for the US Senate
Peggy Flanagan, Angie Craig prepare to face off in bid for DFL nomination for U.S. Senate

The DFL race pits two prominent party leaders, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan and Rep. Angie Craig, against each other.

I forgot she and Craig were both running for the Senate seat.
