In 2026 Amy Klobuchar announced she was running for governor of Minnesota. The move came after incumbent Democrat Tim Walz said he would not seek a third term. It also came after immigration enforcement actions in Minnesota led to the deaths of two residents, Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Klobuchar defeated Republican state House Speaker Lisa Demuth in the November 3, 2026, election. Klobuchar will become Minnesota’s first female governor.
