Breaking: Conservative reporter Liz Collin alleged that Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Gov. Tim Walz may have struck an “inside deal” to install Walz in Klobuchar’s Senate seat if she wins Minnesota’s gubernatorial race. (ktsa.com) Klobuchar announced her bid this week; Walz has said he won’t seek elective office again amid a widening welfare-fraud probe. (apnews.com) Under Minnesota law, a governor can appoint a temporary Senate replacement if a vacancy occurs, with a special election to follow. (startribune.com) Collin’s claim is unproven and has been framed as speculation by other outlets; officials have not confirmed any backroom arrangement as alleged. (gvwire.com)
