Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has announced that he will not be running for the U.S. Senate and instead is exploring a potential third term in office. His spokesperson, Teddy Tschann, stated that Walz loves his job as Governor and is focused on making Minnesota the best state in the country for kids. This decision comes after Senator Tina Smith announced she will not seek reelection in 2026, sparking speculation about potential replacements.
Walz, a Democrat, was previously considered as a candidate for the Senate seat but has decided against running, especially after Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan announced her intention to run. Several other Minnesota politicians are also contemplating running for the Senate seat. In an interview, Walz expressed his willingness to serve another term if given the opportunity.
Earlier, Walz was Kamala Harris’ running mate in the presidential election, which they ultimately lost. As he considers his political future, Walz is committed to his current role as Governor of Minnesota and continuing his work to benefit the state’s children.
The announcement by Walz has sparked interest and speculation in Minnesota’s political circles, as various candidates begin to position themselves for a potential Senate run. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
