Robbins bows out of Minnesota governor race, citing no path to victory

Minnesota Republican state Rep. Kristin Robbins, who chairs the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee, is dropping her bid to become governor, saying she doesn’t see a path to defeating Gov. Tim Walz even as Sen. Amy Klobuchar enters the race. Robbins will not endorse any candidate and plans to focus on finishing the current legislative session while pursuing answers about the fraud allegations surrounding Walz’s tenure. The GOP field remains crowded with candidates like Lisa Demuth, Kendall Qualls, and Mike Lindell.
