跟进：明尼苏达州长选战罗切斯特辩论 克洛布查尔与德穆斯就州政府欺诈交锋
10月21日（周三）晚7点，明尼苏达州州长选举两位候选人——民主党（DFL）提名人、联邦参议员 Amy Klobuchar 与共和党提名人、州众议院议长 Lisa Demuth——在罗切斯特 KTTC/KXLT 电视台演播室举行一小时电视辩论，由 Gray Media 与 Fox 9 联合制作、多家电视台全州联播，包括双城地区的 KMSP Fox 9、德卢斯的 KBJR、曼凯托的 KEYC 等。本站此前曾预告这场辩论，辩论现已举行，这是两人本周内第二次交锋，预计也是选前最后一场。
州政府欺诈防范是双方交锋焦点。Demuth 承诺上任第一天解雇州政府各部门的全部厅长，并签署行政令加强对举报人的保护；Klobuchar 则提出对州政府各部门进行全面审计，并设立「不付名单」拦截可疑付款。Klobuchar 说：「我们不需要一个特朗普的橡皮图章坐在州长办公室里。」她也承认，现任州长 Tim Walz 本应更早发现欺诈问题。双方均排除了加税的可能。
这是明尼苏达州自2018年以来首次开放席位州长选举：Walz 已决定不竞选第三任期。无论谁在11月3日胜出，都将成为明尼苏达州历史上第一位女州长；若 Demuth 胜出，还将成为该州首位黑人州长。共和党自2006年以来未赢过明尼苏达州级选举。
Follow-Up: Klobuchar and Demuth Clash Over State Government Fraud in Rochester Gubernatorial Debate
The two candidates for governor of Minnesota — Democratic (DFL) nominee and U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar and Republican nominee and State House Speaker Lisa Demuth — met for a one-hour televised debate on Wednesday evening, October 21, at the KTTC/KXLT studios in Rochester. Produced by Gray Media with FOX 9 and carried statewide, including KMSP FOX 9 in the Twin Cities, KBJR in Duluth and KEYC in Mankato, it was the pair's second meeting of the week and likely their last before the election; GSM had previewed the debate earlier.
Preventing fraud in state government dominated the exchanges. Demuth pledged to fire every agency commissioner on her first day in office and to sign an executive order strengthening whistleblower protections. Klobuchar proposed a full audit of state agencies and a "do not pay" list to block suspect payments. "We don't need a rubber stamp of Donald Trump in the governor's office," Klobuchar said, while conceding that Governor Tim Walz "should have caught the fraud earlier." Both candidates ruled out tax increases.
This is Minnesota's first open-seat governor's race since 2018, with Walz not seeking a third term. Whoever wins on November 3 will be Minnesota's first woman governor; a Demuth victory would also make her the state's first Black governor. Republicans have not won a Minnesota statewide election since 2006.
