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

But he might still have a home in Minnesota.

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.

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