Democrat Senator Files Paperwork To Run For Governor

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) has filed paperwork to run for Governor of Minnesota.

Klobuchar’s likely entrance into the race follows Gov. Tim Walz ending his campaign for a third term amid the state’s fraud scandal and protests against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

“This is a preliminary step necessary for any candidate considering a run,” an anonymous individual close to the senator said, according to the Minnesota Reformer.

“The senator will make an announcement of her plans in the coming days,” the individual added.
