Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said Tuesday that he would “rather eat glass” than fill the U.S. Senate seat if Sen. Amy Klobuchar wins her presidential bid. The comment was made spontaneously when Walz was asked about the possibility while heading to a press conference.
Walz’s remark was delivered in a lighthearted tone, with the governor emphasizing his respect for Klobuchar and her Senate seat. He did not provide further details about potential replacements or political implications.
Klobuchar, a Democrat, is seeking the party’s presidential nomination. Her departure from the Senate would trigger a special election to fill her seat in Minnesota.
