Klobuchar, Demuth face off in first Minnesota governor’s debate
The candidates will press competing plans on public safety and fraud as polls show Klobuchar ahead and about 8% of voters still undecided.
- On Monday, Democrat Amy Klobuchar and Republican Lisa Demuth held their first head-to-head campaign events, appearing at a business forum in Brainerd before a televised debate Wednesday evening in Rochester.
- Demuth attempted to tie Klobuchar to Governor Tim Walz's administration, arguing she would offer more of the same governance. Klobuchar sought to distance herself by criticizing the current administration's record.
- Klobuchar outlined a $180 million healthcare tax credit plan and defended Minnesota's $3.2 billion rainy day fund, contrasting her economic vision with Demuth's critiques of state spending.
- With the election two weeks away, the next governor must navigate a multi-billion structural imbalance and work with the Legislature to finalize a two-year budget by June 30, 2027.
