Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz (Tampon Tim), who flamed out as Kamala Harris’s failed vice-presidential pick on a failed presidential ticket, has officially pulled the plug on his bid for a third term as governor. And no, the violins are not playing.
Fraudster Walz spent the campaign season running around with Kamala trying to reinvent himself as an outdoorsy everyman [1] (cue the infamous hunting-gear cosplay), but that image has since collapsed under the weight of mounting fraud allegations tied to Minnesota’s massive Somali-linked fraud scandal. Whether Walz was directly involved or simply asleep at the switch, the stench is now everywhere.
Walz’s sudden exit suggests one of two things: either the allegations are closer to the truth than his defenders want to admit, or enough voters believe they are that his reelection prospects are dead on arrival. Either way, Walz appears to have read the writing on the wall – and decided not to stick around for the reckoning. The bad news: he’s still around until January 4, 2027. Unless, of course, he gets indicted and thrown in jail for something.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t a graceful exit. This is “better call an attorney” energy. Walz cited wanting to focus on fighting fraud rather than campaigning, but Minnesotans are asking whether it was his leadership that let billions in questionable claims fester under his watch. It was Democratic-inspired for sure. Some say it’s inefficiency and ineptitude. I say it was all done on purpose. Democrats don’t want oversight and competence. They appear determined to funnel as much taxpayer money as possible to allies and donors, with minimal vetting and virtually no oversight.
Meanwhile, right-wing YouTuber Nick Shirley who exposed the Minnesota daycare fraud just put a comment on X saying, “I ENDED TIM WALZ.”
In the end, Walz isn’t leaving office as a misunderstood reformer or a victim of partisan hit jobs. What he knows is that subpoenas move faster than the polls and they’re probably coming soon. Not to mention House investigations.
Tim’s flannels are back in the closet, the Harris-Walz campaign signs are in the landfill, and his legacy is no longer “Minnesota nice” but “Minnesota fraud.” Whether the truth comes out in audits, indictments, or courtroom transcripts, one thing is already clear: Tim Walz didn’t step aside to save the state – he stepped aside to save himself.
