Tim Walz has won re-election as Minnesota's 41st governor, defeating Republican challenger Scott Jensen. Walz, a Democrat, first took office in 2018 and is now set to begin his second term. In his victory speech, Walz thanked his supporters and promised to continue working for all Minnesotans. "Together, we have achieved so much, and together, we will achieve so much more," he said.

Walz's victory is a significant win for Democrats, who have struggled in recent elections in Minnesota. The state has been trending Republican in recent years, and Jensen was seen as a strong challenger. However, Walz was able to hold onto his seat by appealing to moderate and independent voters. He also benefited from strong support from organized labor and environmental groups.

Jensen, a former state senator, conceded defeat shortly after the polls closed. He thanked his supporters and wished Walz well. "I am proud of the campaign we ran, and I am confident that Tim Walz will do what is best for Minnesota," Jensen said.
