It is indeed a nightmare scenario: what if disgraced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who just announced he won’t run for reelection amid a massive fraud scandal in the Gopher State, were succeeded by Sen. Amy Klobuchar, the failed 2020 Democrat presidential candidate? Worse still, what is she won the gubernatorial race and appointed Walz to the Senate, which she would be able to do?
It might sound too crazy, even for the corrupt Democrats, but according to the New York Times — which despite its many faults, does have an inside line to inner Dem workings — it could actually happen.
She’s actively considering running, they report:
Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota said on Monday that he was abandoning his bid for re-election to a third term. And Senator Amy Klobuchar, a fellow Democrat, is considering seeking the office, two people briefed on conversations between the politicians said.
Mr. Walz and Ms. Klobuchar met on Sunday in Minnesota, where he informed her of his plans and she confirmed her interest in running to succeed him.
Minnesota-based columnist Dustin Grage over at our sister site Townhall — who bills himself as “The Minnesota guy with the receipts” — thinks it’s a possibility:
Klobuchar, who was a sitting senator for Minnesota while the massive Somali fraud exploded and is known for her abusive treatment of staff, would be bad enough as governor, but Walz as a senator would be the stuff of horror movies.
What if 99% of Minnesota republicans got off their asses and actually voted for a change.
