YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Donald Trump responded to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's announcement that he will not seek reelection for a third term.
Trump took to Truth Social to express his views on Walz, writing, "Governor Walz has destroyed the State of Minnesota."
FULL TRUTH SOCIAL POST:
"Minnesota’s Corrupt Governor will possibly leave office before his Term is up but, in any event, will not be running again because he was caught, REDHANDED, along with Ilhan Omar, and others of his Somali friends, stealing Tens of Billions of Taxpayer Dollars," Trump posted on Truth Social. "I feel certain the facts will come out, and they will reveal a seriously unscrupulous, and rich, group of “SLIMEBALLS.” Governor Walz has destroyed the State of Minnesota, but others, like Governor Gavin Newscum, JB Pritzker, and Kathy Hochul, have done, in my opinion, an even more dishonest and incompetent job. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!"
BACKSTORY:
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz made it official on Monday announcing he's not seeking a third term. Four months ago, he announced that he was seeking reelection, but a lot has changed since then. Mainly, a widespread investigation with ongoing fraud in Minnesota under his watch.
It’s not yet clear who may seek the Democratic nomination to replace Walz. U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar is already receiving calls. If she doesn’t run, another possibility is Secretary of State Steve Simon.
On the Republican side, some of the popular names who have registered are Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and Rep. Kristin Robbins.
