In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Embattled Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is expected to bow out of the 2026 re-election race as he faces mounting national criticism over a massive Somali fraud scandal engulfing his state. “He’s likely to drop out of the 2026 #mngov race,” Minnesota political analyst Blois Olson posted on X Sunday night. The news comes as Walz’s office has scheduled a press conference for 11 a.m. today. Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar, whom he said Walz met with Sunday, is a likely contender to replace the governor in the race.
