Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar launched a bid to replace outgoing Governor Tim Walz, entering a race that has drawn national attention after an immigration crackdown in the state that turned violent.

“Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot,” Klobuchar, a Democrat, said in a social media post announcing her candidacy. “I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong.”
