A resolution to impeach Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison was rejected in the House Rules and Administration Committee, resulting in an 8-8 tie vote. All Republican members voted in favor, while Democrats opposed the measure. The resolution, introduced by Republican Representatives Mike Wiener (from Long Prairie) and Ben Davis (from Merrifield), sought to forward articles of impeachment to the House Fraud Committee for further investigation. Representative Harry Niska, co-chair of the committee, emphasized that while the committee does not have the power to arrest or prosecute, the Minnesota Constitution grants the House the sole authority to impeach. The failure of this resolution indicates a significant partisan divide within the Minnesota legislature regarding the actions of the governor and attorney general.
