His decision was prompted by the ongoing scandal involving some of the state’s welfare programs that was threatening his candidacy—and, no less importantly, continues to threaten the Democratic party’s brand in Minnesota and beyond.
The scandal is actually a series of scandals, going back a decade. They all involve private organizations that took government money to run food banks, childcare centers, and other supports for needy Minnesotans—and then didn’t provide the services.

The scandals have led to a series of prosecutions and convictions, many of them during the Biden administration, including one over fraud that prosecutors said totaled nearly $250 million in stolen funds. And there may be more to come. Last month, the assistant U.S. attorney for Minnesota announced the Justice Department had evidence suggesting that the total amount of fraud uncovered may reach well into the billions.
Much of this grift took place while Walz was governor, and for years he has faced criticism—led by Minnesota Republicans—that he was not doing enough to stop it. He has denied that, saying his administration has been chasing down fraud where it’s real and putting in mechanisms to prevent it. In his Monday statement, Walz said one reason he’s dropping his re-election bid is that he feels his campaign would be a distraction from this work...."
