Tim Walz has decided not to run for reelection.

"But as I reflected on this moment with my family and my team over the holidays, I came to the conclusion that I can’t give a political campaign my all," the governor added. "Every minute I spend defending my own political interests would be a minute I can’t spend defending the people of Minnesota against the criminals who prey on our generosity and the cynics who prey on our differences."

He has had a few years to defend taxpayers against “criminals who prey on our generosity” and if he is so concerned about “cynics who prey on our difference” he might start by looking in the mirror and changing his own behavior.
