Democrat Amy Klobuchar, currently serving in the United States Senate, has officially filed paperwork to run for governor of Minnesota. This move comes after current Governor Tim Walz announced he would not seek a third term, citing his focus on addressing welfare fraud allegations in the state amid pressure from the Trump administration. Klobuchar has been a vocal critic of President Trump, especially regarding recent federal immigration enforcement actions in Minnesota that have sparked protests and fear among immigrant communities. As the gubernatorial race approaches, Klobuchar is positioning herself as a leader who will challenge federal tactics and advocate for Minnesota residents.
