US EditionMinnesota Governor Walz rules out running for elective office, saying 'never again'
Walz cited partisan animosity, political gamesmanship, and recent federal investigations as reasons for ending his political career after his current term.
- On Wednesday in St. Paul, Minnesota governor Tim Walz announced his elected office career will end when he finishes his term, saying `I will never run for an elected office again`.
- After withdrawing earlier this month from the gubernatorial race, Walz faced heightened scrutiny over alleged child care fraud in Minnesota and criticism following federal officers' shootings in Minneapolis.
- Pointing to his record, Walz listed accomplishments including paid family leave, free school lunches, and managing the COVID response, and said he found unnamed street-level heroes whose grassroots leaders forced action.
- The decision sent shock waves through state and national politics this month and Walz and President Donald Trump spoke by phone Monday, signaling a potential easing of tensions.
- About 18 months earlier, Walz was thrust into the national spotlight when Vice President Kamala Harris picked him as her running mate in the 2024 election, and he said he'll find other ways to serve in post‑office roles.
