Serving in Senate in 2007, Klobuchar ran in 2020 Democratic presidential primary before endorsing Biden

Amy Klobuchar, the Democratic US senator and one-time presidential candidate, announced she will run for governor of Minnesota, an expected move after the incumbent governor, Tim Walz, dropped out of the race in early January.

“Minnesota, we’ve been through a lot,” Klobuchar said in a video posted on X on Thursday morning, calling out political violence across the state including the recent killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
