‘Never Again’: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz Rules Out Future Political Campaigns
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced on Thursday that he will never again run for elected office, saying his experience as a political candidate is behind him and that he plans to “find other ways to serve.”
The two-term Democratic governor, 61, who was also the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nominee in 2024, made the remarks in an interview with MS NOW. Walz had already dropped his bid for a third term in the 2026 governor’s race amid mounting political pressure.
Walz’s decision comes as Minnesota grapples with a sprawling fraud scandal involving alleged theft of federal funds in state social-service programs. The controversy has drawn sharp criticism from Republicans and Democrats alike, with opponents making fraud central to political campaigns. Walz acknowledged the political heat but framed his departure from future races as a choice to focus on governance rather than campaigning.
At the same time, Minnesota has emerged as a flashpoint in clashes over federal immigration enforcement. The state has seen intense civil unrest after the deaths of two U.S. citizens during confrontations with federal immigration agents in Minneapolis and the deployment of thousands of ICE personnel under a federal operation. These events have heightened tensions between local leaders and the federal government.
Walz said he wants to concentrate on addressing the issues facing Minnesota rather than engaging in electoral politics, suggesting there are “other ways to serve” outside of campaigning. His announcement reshapes the political landscape in the state, as figures such as U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar have already launched bids to succeed him as governor.

Let’s be clear about what that means. He’s saying housing affordability is a problem he does not want to solve.
BREAKING: Trump SCARED as Court ORDERS To TESTIFY Or JAIL ⚖️💥 A former president openly defying court orders was once unthinkable — until now. Judges found Trump in criminal contempt 10 times, admitted fines no longer worked, and quietly put jail on the table. One line from the bench changed everything: “I don’t want to jail a former president — but I will if necessary.” The real question is no longer what Trump did… but what happens the next time he defies a court order.
