About this episode
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Democrats in Minnesota are urging longtime Sen. Amy Klobuchar to jump into the blue-leaning state's race for governor in the wake of Monday's blockbuster move by Democratic Gov. Tim Walz to end his 2026 re-election bid amid political fallout from a massive fraud scandal. Klobuchar is receiving calls urging her to run for governor and the possibility of appointing Walz to the state Senate.
Also the DOJ's investigation into the Minnesota fraud scandal and a close look into fraud in other blue states as well. And the double-edged sword of social media and how public servants mitigate their communication alongside citizen journalism.
