So if Tim does become the VP nominee.......who'll be governor??

[a kennedy]

Or should I know this???

1. Peggy Flanagan (White Earth)

Would be MNs first woman Governor, and first Indigenous Governor in continental US.

[yorkster]

2. This would be excellent.

[OldBaldy1701E]

5. Indeed it would. (n/t)

[Frasier Balzov]

3. Al Franken lives in Manhattan right now.

But he might still have a home in Minnesota.

[Ocelot II]

4. Al Franken will not become the Governor or even run for that position.

That will be Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan if Walz is Harris' running mate. The new Lieutenant Governor will then be the current president of the Senate, Bobby Champion, who is also DFL.

[question everything]

6. Which will make the senate 50-50? Will there be special elections to fill Champion's seat?

[Ocelot II]

7. That's true; they would have to call a special election.

That's a safe DFL district, though (north Minneapolis).
