Klobuchar launches Minnesota governor bid amid immigration crackdown

U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar launched a bid to become Minnesota’s next governor, entering a race shaped by a major federal immigration crackdown and the abrupt withdrawal of Gov. Tim Walz; she frames the campaign around Minnesota values, pledges government reform, and would be the first woman to hold the post if elected, facing a Republican field that criticizes her as a Walz continuation.
