“Every minute I spend defending my own political interests would be a minute I can’t spend defending the people of Minnesota against the criminals who prey on our generosity and the cynics who prey on our differences,” Walz said.
The latest blow to Walz came from allegations over widespread fraud in the state.

Dozens of individuals, many of them Somali immigrants, have been charged in connection with that case as of November.
