Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz Drops Reelection Bid Amid Somali Fraud Probe

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is dropping his reelection bid amid a pending investigation into Somali voting irregularities in Hennepin County, and will instead focus on running for vice president as part of the Democratic ticket. The decision comes after President Donald Trump's repeated criticism of the probe. Walz had previously announced his intention to seek re-election but now intends to serve out the remainder of his current term before joining the presidential campaign. This move is seen as a strategic shift to focus on higher-stakes elections and potentially boost his national profile.
