Earlier this week, a Washington Post political columnist and CNN both mentioned Klobuchar on the list of possible presidential candidates for the 2016 race.

Klobuchar sailed to victory in her bid for re-election with 65 percent of the vote.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar spoke about the possibility of a position in President-elect Joe Biden's administration on WCCO Radio Thursday.

State Rep. Kurt Bills is the Minnesota Republican Party's pick to face U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar in the November election. The first-term Republican nabbed the endorsement to challenge the Democratic incumbent after two ballots at the Minnesota GOP Convention Friday in St. Cloud.

Most people have had enough of presidential politics for a while. But Washington Post political columnist Chris Cillizza can't help himself – and on his list of 13 possible candidates is Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., fresh from collecting 65 percent of the vote in her re-election bid.

Former state Rep. Dan Severson, Minnesota Army National Guard Capt. Pete Hegseth and first-term state Rep. Kurt Bills have all entered the race to unseat first-term Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar. Republicans are expected to endorse a candidate at the state convention in mid-May.

As Capt. Pete Hegseth kicks off his campaign against U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar, he may benefit from his fundraising work with the group Vets for Freedom. But it will be a long-shot fight against a Democrat who has some of the highest approval ratings in the country.

With a healthy lead in the polls, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., is spending some of her political capital in the divisive fight over the marriage amendment. In a new email to potential donors, Klobuchar says she has pledged to help raise $10,000 for the fight against the controversial state ballot measure that would define marriage as between a man and woman.
