Republican Minnesota state Rep. Kristin Robbins announced Friday that she is dropping out of the gubernatorial race in the North Star State.

Robbins, who serves as the chair for Minnesota’s House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee, suspended her campaign as her state and current Gov. Tim Walz face continued scrutiny from the Trump administration in the wake of alleged widespread fraud.
