Walz is now in his second gubernatorial term and has two years left.
Walz has two more years of his term as governor of Minnesota. Not sure he can fuck it up any more than he has, but we have faith he'll find a way to make Minnesota more like California.
“I’m going to try even harder to keep an open mind and an open heart, to really listen to the folks who don’t support me or my policies, to work with everyone in the Legislature and seek compromise and common ground,” Walz said on Friday. “Because that’s how we come back together after such a long time spent fighting each other. That’s how we heal the tears in the fabric of our civic society. That’s how we move forward — as One Minnesota.”
Walz has many fences to mend back home, especially in the rural Minnesota counties that overwhelmingly voted for the former president Donald Trump.
Mapping recent Minnesota election results underscores the need for leadership that unites us and drive home that the urban-rural divide is deepening. Walz’s support outside the metro has eroded since his 2018 gubernatorial run.
The Harris-Walz ticket also carried fewer Minnesota counties than President Joe Biden did in 2020, which is noteworthy given that this is Walz’s home state. In addition, the Harris-Walz margin of victory here eroded. Biden won Minnesota with 52.4% of the vote over Trump’s 45.3%. In 2024, the Harris-Walz campaign secured 50.9% of the vote to Trump’s 46.7%.
