India, Jan. 5 -- Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is expected to drop his 2026 re-election bid amid criticism over daycare fraud in the state, according to Minnesota political analyst Blois Olson. This comes after content creator and independent journalist Nick Shirley came under spotlight for alleging that there is a massive fraud involving taxpayer dollars in Minnesota's daycare system. He shared various videos on social media to expose fraudulent practices in the state, specifically exposing a Somali-run daycare fraud.

Shirley openly criticized Walz in his videos. Subsequently, the Trump administration said it is stopping federal funds to Minnesota because of fraud.
