A ‘culture change’ that sounds like a bad HR policy
The debate was less about policies and more about who could throw the most shade at a former governor.

The story
Minnesota gubernatorial candidates clash over fraud, gas prices, and health care, with one accusing the other of being tied to a former governor's legacy.

Our reading
Demuth said the state needs to ‘change the culture of fraud.’ That’s a phrase that sounds like it was pulled from a corporate HR manual, not a campaign speech. It’s the kind of language that makes you wonder if the real goal is to fire everyone and start over, but with more buzzwords. Meanwhile, Klobuchar tried to say she’s not Walz’s puppet, even though she once called him an ‘incredible governor.’ It’s like saying you’re not a fan of your ex, but you still keep their Spotify playlist on shuffle. The whole thing felt less like a debate and more like a therapy session where neither side is ready to move on.
