USA, Klobuchar runs for Minnesota governor, ‘let’s defend what’s right’

29 Gennaio 2026

(Adnkronos) – “The people of Minnesota have faced many things, a moment like this requires grit, resilience, and trust in each other. I believe we must defend what is right and fix what is wrong.” Thus, Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar officially announced her candidacy for governor, after current Governor Tim Walz decided earlier this month not to run for a third term, amidst criticism for his handling of the state welfare fraud case.  

“We cannot hide how difficult the situation is – the senator continued, referring to the weeks of chaos and violence the country has been experiencing since ICE deportations began – but in these moments of enormous difficulty, we find strength in our Minnesota values of hard work, freedom, honesty, and willingness.” “In these moments, leaders capable of making their voices heard are needed,” she concluded.
