ST. PAUL, MN (trfnews.i234.me) – If Kamala Harris wins the presidential election and Governor Tim Walz becomes vice-president, significant changes would occur at the state level in Minnesota. Secretary of State Steve Simon points out that historical precedents involving Walter Mondale and Hubert Humphrey, who transitioned from the vice presidency while serving as senators, differ from Walz potentially leaving the governorship. If elected vice-president, Walz would have a period between the November election and the inauguration to resign as governor, triggering a succession process. This scenario would make Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan the first Native American woman to serve as a US governor.
