“We’re in a time in American history where voters are just very, very fickle.”

Minnesota state Sen. Rob Kupec. The Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party lawmaker praised Gov. Tim Walz’s record but voiced concern about Walz seeking a third term, a move some Democrats fear could be risky in a volatile political climate. Kupec said voter unpredictability makes any third-term bid challenging, even for an incumbent with significant accomplishments. His comments reflect broader unease within the party, as Democrats worry that Walz’s re-election campaign could reverberate down the ballot in a year when every statewide office, the Legislature and all eight U.S. House seats will be at stake.
