00:00Sticking with Minnesota, Senator Amy Klobuchar, currently serving her fourth term on Capitol Hill,
00:04has officially applied for a new gig, governor. This has pretty much been the worst kept secret
00:11in politics since current Governor Tim Walz, who is mired in statewide fraud scandals,
00:16announced that he wouldn't be seeking a third term. Klobuchar, who had a brief run for president
00:20during the 2020 election cycle, immediately became the favorite to win, not just a Democratic primary,
00:26but to hold on to the governor's seat for Democrats. In her announcement, she slammed
00:31ICE operations in Minnesota, claiming they were, quote, sent by an administration that relishes
00:36division. She also addressed the ongoing fraud investigation that, in many ways,
00:41prompted the surge of federal agents in the state. I will make sure the people who steal
00:46taxpayer money go to jail and root out the fraud by changing the way state government works.
00:52As I said, everyone knew this announcement was coming,
00:55but she did push it a few days after the shooting death of Alex Preddy.
