As we told you earlier, Minnesota governor and former Kamala Harris running mate Tim Walz has announced that he won't be running for reelection as originally planned.
Walz laughably said that the ongoing fraud investigations in his state would be too much of a distraction from his efforts to defend Minnesotans from criminals taking advantage of his government's generosity:

The DNC's post just begged for some memes, and X delivered.

Walz will be missed in the governor's office... by the fraudsters.
