Gov. Tim Walz Drops Reelection Bid Amidst Fraud Fallout and Party Criticism

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has dropped his reelection bid due to fallout from allegations of fraud, following critical backlash over his handling of the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nomination process. The decision comes as Walz faces intense scrutiny over his role in the controversy. He had initially planned to run for a third term but now plans to step down at the end of the current term. This move effectively ends any chance he may have had to become Minnesota's first African American governor.
