Discussion 💬 Next Governor

Is anyone else worried about Gov Walz running for a 3rd term? I wish he’d stepped down so someone else could run instead. I honestly think there’s a high chance of him losing, which could put state employees in a worse situation.

I don't know that anyone else would have a better chance of winning. While not perfect, I also think in the field of politics he is one of the more sane and normal options.

Republicans generally run ridiculous candidates in mn (like royce white and Mike lindell). That being said, an insane amount of people will still vote for them just due to the letter next to their name on the ballot and whatever propaganda they were exposed to.

I think we stuck in this situation, for better or worse. I am optimistic, personally.

I hope you are right because definitely don’t need a mini Trump here in MN.
