We have another open US Senate seat for 2026, and it’s in Tim Walz’s backyard. Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN) announced today that she was not running for re-election, dealing Democrats another blow ahead of the 2026 midterms, where Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) has also announced he won’t seek re-election.
The names that pop up to run for Smith’s seat on the Democratic side are Gov. Tim Walz, still licking his wounds over his 2024 defeat, and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), the loudest voice of support for radical Islamic terrorists on the Hill. If I were a Democrat, I’d set myself on fire if these were the two top choices. But the field could be deep, and that means Democratic bloodsports could lie ahead (via Politico):
democrats are fleeing like the cockroaches they are.
If those people are stupid enough to vote for her, let them have her. Stupid is as stupid does.
but then we are stuck with her also, it’s like a cancer, don’t let it spread more, stomp it out!
