1:23Now PlayingMinnesota Governor Tim Walz said he won’t seek reelection after coming under fire for a scandal involving alleged fraud in state programs that has been amplified by President Donald Trump and Republicans.
Walz’s decision, announced in a statement on Monday, marks an abrupt halt to his political career. Relatively unknown outside of Minnesota politics in 2024, he catapulted himself to the national stage as a surrogate for the Democratic presidential ticket by delivering direct appeals to voters, calling Republicans “weird” and sharing personal anecdotes about how, as an avid hunter, he came to support stricter gun laws.
He later joined the ticket when he was chosen by Kamala Harris as her vice presidential running mate after former President Joe Biden decided against running for a second term.
