So very interesting to see that there seems to be some kind of an agreement that a productive call was made, especially when the Attorney General Keith Ellison here in Minnesota just yesterday was saying when he met with Vice President J.D.

Vance last week that it wasn't a very productive conversation.

Yeah.

So just a quick snapshot on 2026 in Minnesota.

There is a gubernatorial race.

Governor Tim Walz is not going to be running for that third term that he originally had said he would.

We're all waiting to see if and when Senator Amy Klobuchar gets into the race.

She has already filed paperwork on the Democratic side.

But on the Republican side, there's a pretty healthy contest that is taking shape.

And the surprise today was that Chris Maddell has dropped his bid for Minnesota governor.

He's a Republican.

He ended his campaign over the fallout from recent federal immigration actions.

So this is a Minneapolis attorney.

He launched his bid just in December, and he attributes it to the ongoing ice crackdown in Minnesota that has led to the deaths of these two citizen observers.

He says the operation has gone too far and people are living in fear.

He calls it an unmitigated disaster.

There's even a video that Mattel says he can't support what he calls retribution against Minnesota.

And I do want to note, too, that Mattel's firm has represented police officers in prior shooting cases, and he has provided legal support to Jonathan Ross.

That is the ICE officer who fired the fatal shots at Renee Macklin Good back on January 7th in Minneapolis.

And I think it's important, too, to Domenico's point about the makeup of the state of Minnesota.
