Tim Walz to drop out of Minnesota governor’s race
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is dropping out of the Minnesota governor’s race on Monday, according to two people directly familiar with the governor’s thinking.
Walz, who served as the Democrats’ 2024 vice presidential nominee, met with Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) on Sunday to discuss the campaign, as Klobuchar considers her own run for the governorship, according to one of the people familiar with the meeting.

Walz is expected to hold a press conference Monday morning.
