Minnesota’s Democratic Governor Tim Walz has said he will never run for an elected office again.
“I know they hate me personally and they take it out on my constituents,” Waltz said in an interview with MSNow, adding later: “One of the things is I have no political considerations, will never run for an elected office again…and I will just do the work.”
“There’s heroes on the streets that we don’t know their names – they’re never going to run for office and those…leaders brought this administration to their knees this week,” he continued.
It comes after Walz pulled out of the race for a third term as governor earlier this month, after his state was rocked by a fraud scandal that took place under his watch.
“Every minute I spend defending my own political interests would be a minute I can’t spend defending the people of Minnesota against the criminals who prey on our generosity and the cynics who prey on our differences,” he said at at the time. “So I’ve decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work.”
