  • Tim Walz: Trailblazing Governor Seeks Historic 3rd Term | Biography Flash
    Sep 23 2025
    Tim Walz Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

    Tim Walz has been front and center the past few days, officially announcing his campaign for a third term as Minnesota’s governor—something no one’s pulled off since the state switched to four-year terms—and kicking off a fresh round of headlines and debate. After much speculation, Walz confirmed via social media on Tuesday that he’s running again in 2026, telling followers that historic progress has been made in Minnesota but he’s “not done yet,” and posting a campaign launch video promising to keep fighting for Minnesotans while leveling fresh critiques at Donald Trump, JD Vance, and the general direction of national politics. He’s also been very direct on the urgent need to address gun violence, giving emotional remarks at his Minneapolis campaign rally pledging to push for stricter gun measures and signaling he’d work with any “brave Republicans” willing to help, especially following the recent tragic shooting at Annunciation and the assassination of House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, which has deeply shaken Minnesota’s political community, according to CBS Minnesota and other local reports.

    The campaign is launching under new pressure: The most recent KSTP/SurveyUSA poll shows his net approval rating has fallen to zero for the first time, with voters evenly split at 47 percent approve and 47 percent disapprove. Crucially, Walz is notably weak among independents and in his old base of southern Minnesota, only earning 24 percent support there. He still beats all major Republican contenders—including Scott Jensen and Kristin Robbins—in head-to-head polling, though just barely in some cases, and a significant chunk of voters remain undecided, so the 2026 gubernatorial contest could become his tightest yet.

    Nationally, Walz is also maintaining his profile. He was the Democratic vice presidential nominee last year and continues to make waves outside Minnesota, slated as a featured speaker at the California Democratic Party convention in Anaheim on May 31. The national spotlight remains trained on his previous stances and controversies—especially his comment about ICE agents, which drew criticism from congressional Republicans during a June hearing, though he refused to apologize, as reported by Fox News.

    Business-wise, Walz is touting his One Minnesota Budget, which he signed into law, continuing his message of investing in public schools and economic security, and he’s highlighting the achievement of 151 million free school meals served across the state. Social media activity has been high, with his campaign using X and other platforms to promote his re-election, emphasize Minnesota’s recent accomplishments, and attack Trump-era policies, especially those impacting working families and trade.

    While he’s dropped hints he won’t run for president in 2028 if re-elected, speculation still follows him, fueled by his heightened national presence and trailblazer reputation as a former teacher, veteran, and frequent voice for progressive issues, according to reports from Fox News and the Star Tribune.

  • Tim Walz: Historic 3rd Term Bid | Biography Flash
    Sep 20 2025
    Tim Walz Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

    Tim Walz has been squarely in the national and state spotlight this week following his headline-making announcement that he is running for a historic third term as Minnesota’s governor. With a packed Minneapolis hall roaring in support on Friday, September 19—barely hours ago—Walz took the stage to launch his re-election campaign and set himself up to make Minnesota history as the first person to win three four-year terms since the state switched to this system six decades ago. According to CBS News, he declared “governing like good neighbors is not just what Minnesotans want from us; it is what they demand from us. Because we believe we’re One Minnesota.” Throughout the rally, Walz did not avoid hot-button issues, making clear that tackling gun violence is front and center after the shocking assassination of state representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, as well as a mass shooting at Annunciation. He vowed to use the “power of this office to help stop the bloodshed” and called for bipartisan courage, insisting some Republicans must help remove “weapons of war off our streets and out of our schools.”

    Earlier this week on Tuesday morning, Walz kicked off a media blitz and posted a two-minute campaign video across his social media in which he affirmed “We’ve made historic progress in our state, but we’re not done yet. I’m staying in the fight—and I need you with me.” This message quickly spread, with outlets such as Fox News and MPR News highlighting Walz's sharpened critiques of Donald Trump and the GOP, as well as his appeal to Minnesota’s sense of resilience after a tumultuous year. He didn’t shy away from mentioning his time as the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee, noting how his brief but intense spell in the eye of national politics both raised his profile and brought tougher scrutiny of his record and personal biographical details.

    Reporters have pointed out that Walz faces real challenges as he seeks this third term. His support in greater Minnesota has waned and opposition Republicans—like former state senator Scott Jensen, healthcare tech executive and Army veteran Kendall Qualls, and state rep Kristin Robbins—are sharpening their campaigns. Fox News and the Star Tribune note Walz now touts more than one million dollars in the bank, giving him the power of incumbency, but he will be “bucking history.”

    On the public appearance front, beyond the campaign and statewide tour, Walz is scheduled as a featured speaker for the California Democratic Party’s 2025 State Convention on May 31 in Anaheim. Party leaders such as Rusty Hicks have lauded his history as a teacher, veteran, and champion for working families.

    Despite a few controversies—including a highly publicized comparison between ICE agents and Nazi Germany’s Gestapo, for which he has refused to apologize—Walz is leaning into his reputation as a bold and sometimes blunt leader. On social media, Tim Walz has remained highly active, sharing updates on X, Instagram, and Facebook, echoing his messages of unity and hope while once again framing himself as a defender against “the chaos, corruption, and cruelty coming out of Washington.”

  • Biography Flash: Tim Walz Eyes 3rd Term Amid Gun Reform Push & COVID Action
    Sep 13 2025
    Tim Walz Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

    Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been making headlines this week for signaling his near-certain intention to seek a third term in office. While he stopped short of an official confirmation, speaking Wednesday at an Inver Grove Heights elementary school, Walz told reporters, I think that's a safe assumption when asked about running again in 2026, adding that a formal announcement should be expected in the coming days. He emphasized the privilege of his role and his desire not to "switch horses mid-stream," referencing the work left to do for the state, particularly following a tough summer marked by tragedy and soul-searching for his family and administration, as reported by KARE 11 and Fox 9.

    Walz’s possible reelection bid is deeply intertwined with Minnesota’s recent surge in gun violence, most notably the politically motivated shooting at Annunciation Church and the fatal attack on state political leaders earlier this summer. He’s spent considerable time attending memorial services for those lost, meeting with affected families, and rallying lawmakers toward commonsense gun reforms. Walz is actively organizing a special legislative session, expressing certainty it will happen, with or without pre-agreement from legislative leaders. He has publicly declared that the session’s main focus will be on firearms regulations, including proposals for an assault weapons ban, high-capacity magazine clips, safe storage laws, liability insurance, and strengthening the state’s red flag law. Fox 9 and CBS News Minnesota note Walz's comments on the urgency and pain fueling these actions, saying, "We have got to do something to make our streets safer, make our schools safer, and do some commonsense things." However, given the political makeup of the legislature, passing major reforms will be a challenge, a point echoed by analysts on KSTP.

    Another significant move came in public health: Walz issued an executive order making COVID-19 vaccines more easily accessible for Minnesotans, particularly after federal changes limited booster availability. His order gives health professionals more flexibility and positions Minnesota as a leader in pushing back against politicized limits on vaccine distribution, according to the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy.

    On social media, Walz has kept active, weighing in on national controversies. On September 7, he posted pointed criticism of presidential rhetoric online, reacting to Donald Trump’s inflammatory comments about Chicago and immigration. There’s speculation in the blogosphere about Walz’s leadership style in crisis, contrasting him sharply with Trump, especially given the polarized reactions to recent acts of political violence targeting Democrats. Jewish Dems commented that Walz’s response to tragedy marked him as a figure of unity, calling out silence from other leaders and distinguishing his approach as one Minnesota needs.
