This is unconfirmed and comes from "multiple reports from within the Walz campaign," so take it with a grain of salt. Not only has Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz dropped out of the race for a third term as governor, it also appears he may be resigning as early as next week. We'll believe it when we see it.
🚨 BOMBSHELL: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is set to resign within the next week, according to multiple reports from within the Walz campaign.

Look, I'm all about jumping on a good story, but until we get legitimate information from legitimate sources, this is nothing more than what democrats do when "sources close to the president's thinking" tell them that they have the inside scoop.

Agreed.

I don't believe it, but either way he's had the biggest fall in such a short amount of time

He just said it would be "over his dead body." I'm gonna be checking the headlines every morning

1. Drop out
— Scott Stephenson (@scott4wa) January 10, 2026
2. Resign
3. Prison
He issued several statements in the last week that he wasn't going to resign, which is a sign that resigning is imminent.

Who knows what investigators might have come up with since he said he'd be resigning over his dead body?
It would be great if this were true, but we're taking the word of unnamed "sources."
