which wouldn't be a good idea, unless Klobuchar resigns to run for president. His House district is (I think) CD#5, which is about to be Dem Ilhan Omar's seat. So if he wanted to get back into office he'd have to do something at the state level like run for Governor, but our new Governor, Tim Walz, is also a Dem and is not term limited. Maybe he could be appointed to a cabinet position if a Democrat wins the presidency in 2020.
