Amy Klobuchar
May 10, 2026 — Bill Glahn
Call it the Mod Con. And rhe song remains the same: from the Minneapolis Star Tribune . Klobuchar pitches moderation in governor’s race, rebuffs redistricting push for Minnesota. The Star Tribune reports, U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar declined Friday to embrace Gov. Tim Walz’s suggestion that Minnesota could try to redraw its congressional districts to create an advantage for Democrats if their party wins full control of state government in November.

They tell me that in marketing a consumer has to hear a message seven (7) times before it begins to register. In selling the “new” Amy Klobuchar as Minnesota’s next governor, the Minneapolis Star Tribune is now up to 2. The Star Tribune writes today, Klobuchar makes early move to separate herself from Walz in governor’s race. It’s essentially the same article, about the same Sunday event, that the paper

An odd event occurred on Sunday, May 3: U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar held an event, a press conference, in support of her campaign to be become Minnesota Governor. Forget for the moment the question as to why a titan of the Senate like Klobuchar would give up that status to serve as the governor of a Midwestern flyover state. I mean, why not run in California or New York, states

If he were so inclined, I think Governor Walz could rewrite the Paul Simon song subtitled “How I Was Robert McNamara’d into Submission.” In Walz’s case, it would go “How I was Nancy Pelosi’d Into Submission.” The lyrics would explain how he was Nancy Pelosi’d into submission by Amy Klobuchar, or perhaps how he was Klobber’d into submission. I told the public part of the story in the Examiner column

Friends from around the country have asked me how Tim Walz could possibly think he could win a third term, with perhaps the worst record of any governor in American history, topped off with the $10 billion (my conservative estimate) Somali fraud. Simple, I would respond: he won’t say a word about his own record, and will run against President Trump. Eventually, the national Democrats got worried that Walz was

All eyes will be on the state capitol today as events unfold. This morning, Walz took eight minutes to read his previously-released withdrawal statement out loud in front of TV cameras. He did not take questions from the media, but promised a Q&A session for tomorrow. Stay tuned to this space for a roundup of news links.

If the Democrats had any good arguments to make, would they make so many bad ones? I don’t think so. A case in point comes from Amy Klobuchar, who is usually regarded as one of the less-dumb Dems. But check this out: Under President Trump, electricity prices are surging — up 11%! — leaving millions behind on their utility bills, with past-due balances at an all-time high. American families deserve

The senior senator from Minnesota stages a little useless theater at the U.S. Capitol. In the 18-second video, posted Thursday, she appears to peek into the House chamber, only to see an empty room, in her telling. The actual chamber is never shown, so you’ll just have to take her word for its emptiness. The script reads, All by myself… Knocked at the door of the House chamber and no

For millennia, the adage “seeing is believing” has held true. If you only heard about something, it might or might not have happened. But if you saw it with your own eyes, you knew it was true. That seeing is no longer believing represents a sad revolution in human consciousness, the effects of which we cannot begin to predict. I saw this purported video of Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar talking

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) said she believes the deportation fight over Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia is the Trump administration’s way of distracting public attention away from the tariffs and economic impacts. Klobuchar joined CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, highlighting her fellow Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s (Md.) trip to El Salvador to meet with the Abrego Garcia amid the administration’s defiance in the legal battle. What? That’s according to reporting today in

Seeking to do the job native Minnesota press won’t do, I have written more than a hundred posts to present a true portrait of Amy Klobuchar. She has the local press serving on her public relations team. Minnesota journalists are mostly happy to serve in this capacity, but when they fall short of her expectations, she uses methods undreamed of in How To Win Friends and Influence People to get

Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar has an undistinguished legislative record. She has been a master of small-ball politics, sponsoring unimportant but superficially appealing bills while excelling at constituent service. But now, Klobuchar has stepped out as an advocate for censorship, a key Democratic Party priority. On October 19, she wrote a letter to Jeff Bezos, complaining that when Amazon’s Alexa, which “relies on a variety of sources to answer questions,” responds

Amy Klobuchar says she called Joe Biden on Wednesday to tell him that “this is a moment to put a woman of color on that ticket.” Woman of color. Does that include pale Elizabeth Warren who has a tiny drop (apparently less than that of the average American) of Indian blood? Biden has already decided to discriminate on the basis of gender in selecting his running mate. Now Klobuchar is

In yesterday’s podcast, Steve asked whether I had heard any rumors about Amy Klobuchar being promised the vice-presidential slot in return for dropping out and endorsing Joe Biden. I hadn’t. But (via Ann Althouse) Amy herself may have let the secret out yesterday: { WATCH } A slip this morning by Sen. Amy Klobuchar during a campaign event for Joe Biden in Grand Rapids. “I could not think of a

Nekima Levy Armstrong was one of the Black Lives Matter “protesters” who shut down Amy Klobuchar’s homecoming rally at St. Louis Park High School on Sunday night, before Klobuchar shut down her presidential campaign. The rally had been called in anticipation of Minnesota’s Super Tuesday primary today. Bernie Sanders is coming on strong in Minnesota. Sanders appeared for a rally with Ilhan Omar at St. Paul’s Roy Wilkins Auditorium yesterday.

Minnesotans from all over the Twin Cities and beyond drove to St. Louis Park High School yesterday evening for the rally that was to feature Minnesota Senator and favorite daughter presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar. Following the cancellation of the rally as a result of the thugocratic works of Nekima Levy Armstrong and her BLM colleagues, Star Tribune editorial editor and vice president Scott Gillespie sent out this Star Tribune Opinion

“Protesters” of the BLM variety shut down Amy Klobuchar’s planned rally in St. Louis Park last night. The Star Tribune has posted Torey Van Oot’s antiseptic Star Tribune story here. This is a bloody outrage, abetted by the Klobuchar campaign’s surrender to the protesters. St. Louis Park police were on the scene but took no action. Who are these people? Van Oot fails to name the name of a single
