"Walz has emerged as a vocal critic of the second Trump administration, prompting a feud between the two. After a Democratic lawmaker was killed by a gunman and a second was seriously injured earlier this year, Trump said he would not âwaste timeâ calling the âwhacked outâ governor. Walzâs growing national profile both makes him a high-profile target in the 2026 midterms worthy of trying to defeat, GOP strategists say â but Trumpâs intense focus on the race could also backfire given the stateâs political makeup. âHaving Donald Trump being active in the race for a particular Republican may not be helpful, but it would be extremely helpful to raise the attention on Tim Walz and his record here in the state,â Daudt said. And if Trump ends up throwing his weight behind Lindell â who conspired with Trump in 2020 to advance false claims that the presidential election was stolen â Republicans worry that could give Walz a clearer path to reelection."
