Tim Walz has ended his bid for re-election after vile murder slurs from Orange Rapist Felon Ballroom Building Jesus

Former vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has ended his bid for re-election as Minnesota Governor amid a MAGA firestorm over alleged welfare fraud in his state and vile slurs from Donald Trump.

In a statement on Monday morning, the two-term governor announced he would no longer seek a third term in office, accusing Trump and his allies of wanting “to make our state a colder, meaner place.”

“They want to poison our people against each other by attacking our neighbors. And, ultimately, they want to take away much of what makes Minnesota the best place in America to raise a family,” he said.

“As I reflected on this moment with my family and my team over the holidays, I came to the conclusion that I can’t give a political campaign my all," the 61-year-old added.

they just want to go after minority communities.

If they cared about fraud they wouldn't support Trump.

But it has always been this way. We need to get control of these things so they can't exploit it.

the con artist and his MAGA cult are vile, disgusting, deplorable people.

We all remember how they viciously attacked Tim's son in 2024. They are all just awful.
