众议院监督委员会主席詹姆斯·科默：预计在明尼苏达州涉嫌欺诈调查中会看到“真正的问责”
众议院监督委员会主席詹姆斯·科默透露，包括州长蒂姆·沃尔兹和总检察长基思·埃里森在内的明尼苏达州州级官员无视举报人警告，任由3亿美元联邦营养补助资金遭欺诈。科默强调，这一决定出于政治考量，旨在避免被指控种族主义，最终导致欺诈行为不受制约，并对揭发者进行报复。
明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·沃尔兹在本州的支持率已跌至唐纳德·特朗普总统之下，这位本州最高行政长官持续因任内爆发的大规模欺诈丑闻面临强烈反弹。
根据梅森-迪克森民调与战略公司为KARE 11、《明尼苏达星论坛报》及明尼苏达大学哈伯德新闻与大众传播学院开展的最新民调，沃尔兹将于明年1月卸任（此前他已宣布不会寻求连任），目前在该州的支持率为39%，反对率为53%，8%的选民不确定态度。
此次民调于2026年6月8日至10日通过实时电话采访方式完成，受访对象为800名有望参与11月大选的明尼苏达州登记选民。这一数据是沃尔兹六年前上任以来的最低支持率。
在欺诈议题上，45%的选民表示信任共和党解决该问题，38%的选民选择民主党，14%的选民表示两党都不信任。

同一家民调机构本周公布的民调显示，特朗普在该州的支持率为41%，这一数据引起了社交媒体上保守派人士的关注。
“蒂姆·沃尔兹在深蓝州明尼苏达州的支持率如今低于特朗普总统，”Townhall专栏作家达斯汀·格雷奇在X平台上发帖称，“这表明欺诈丑闻对民主党人的毒害有多深。”
过去一年中，特朗普政府对明尼苏达州表现出极大兴趣，并派遣其欺诈特别工作组进驻该州，展开突袭搜查、逮捕行动，并进一步调查该州欺诈行为为何能如此迅速地蔓延。
民调还揭示了另一个争议议题：沃尔兹支持的新州旗，50%的选民表示反对该新州旗。
新州旗已成为该州的文化与政治导火索，而此时明尼苏达州正深陷美国历史上规模最大的欺诈丑闻之一，该丑闻大量涉及索马里裔移民社区。该州旗于2023年由民主党控制的州议会设立的13人委员会批准通过。批评人士称该旗帜过于简单，甚至有人抨击其与索马里国旗相似。
明尼苏达州议员痛批沃尔兹“政绩”，此前他在离任演讲中吹嘘自己在欺诈问题上的表现：“荒谬至极”
“将大多数明尼苏达州人团结在一起的两件事，一是拒绝蒂姆·沃尔兹及其失败的政策，二是我们对明尼苏达索马里族州旗的厌恶，”代表明尼苏达州第六国会选区的众议院共和党多数党鞭汤姆·埃默告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“这面旗帜是个耻辱，那些积极将其从市政厅和社区移除的城市做得好。”
“特朗普总统在他的家乡州比蒂姆·沃尔兹更受欢迎，因为明尼苏达州人受够了沃尔兹站在非法移民和索马里欺诈者一边，而不是站在辛勤工作、纳税的选民一边。”他继续说道，“蒂姆·沃尔兹的政绩将是烧毁明尼阿波利斯的火灾、他任内被窃取的欺诈丑闻，以及那些损害我们伟大州的失败政策。”

欺诈似乎是沃尔兹支持率暴跌的重要原因，去年该欺诈丑闻成为头条新闻以来，他的支持率下降了10个点，这证明了这一点。
该州仅有1%的共和党人认可沃尔兹的工作表现，与之相比，73%的民主党人和32%的无党派人士表示认可。
“美国在2024年拒绝了蒂姆·沃尔兹，”明尼苏达州共和党参议员迈克尔·霍尔姆斯特伦告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“现在明尼苏达州人也纷纷效仿。对蒂姆来说，好消息是，既然他的政绩已全面暴露，他很快可能会成为监狱里最受欢迎的人。”
明尼苏达州共和党参议员马克·科兰告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，民调“真切展现了沃尔兹州长对自己造成的后果”。
“他任由欺诈危机失控，却未采取任何补救措施，反而忙着将所有激进政策塞进州政府。”科兰说道，“多年来的极端极左意识形态和政策未能帮助普通民众，明尼苏达州人已经受够了。他的政绩将是欺诈危机和亵渎州旗。明尼苏达州人已经受够了这一切。”

Walz approval rating craters to lowest level ever and trails Trump amid massive fraud scandal: ‘Tired of it’
2026-06-19 7:00am EDT / Fox News
The governor’s 39% approval marks his lowest since taking office six years ago

Expect to see ‘real accountability’ in alleged Minnesota fraud investigation, Rep James Comer
Rep. James Comer, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, reveals that Minnesota state leaders, including Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, ignored whistleblower warnings and allowed $300 million in federal nutrition fraud. Comer emphasizes that the decision was driven by political reasons to avoid accusations of racism, leading to unchecked fraud and retaliation against those who spoke up.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s approval rating in his state has plummeted to a level below President Donald Trump as the state’s top executive continues to face blowback from the massive fraud scandal that erupted under his watch.
Walz, who is leaving office in January after announcing he will not run for re-election, has an approval rating of 39% in the state and a disapproval rating of 53% with 8% not sure, according to a new poll conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling and Strategy Inc. for KARE 11, the Minnesota Star Tribune, and the University of Minnesota’s Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
The poll surveyed 800 Minnesota registered voters likely to participate in the November general election via live telephone interviews from June 8-10, 2026 and the numbers represent Walz’s lowest approval rating since taking office six years ago.
On the fraud issue, 45% of voters say they trust Republicans to fix it compared to 38% who chose Democrats and 14% who said neither party.
FINAL WALZ FRAUD REPORT RIPS ‘CULTURE OF TOLERANCE’ AS MINNESOTA TAXPAYERS FACE BILLIONS IN ALLEGED LOSSES

The same polling unit registered Trump’s approval rating in the state at 41% this week, which conservatives on social media took notice of.
“Tim Walz has a lower approval rating than President Trump in deep blue Minnesota right now,” Townhall columnist Dustin Grage posted on X. “That’s how toxic the fraud has become for Democrats.”
Over the past year, the Trump administration has taken a major interest in Minnesota and unleashed its fraud task force into the state resulting in raids, arrests, and further investigations into how the fraud was able to grow so quickly in the state.
Another contentious issue revealed by the poll is Minnesota’s new state flag, supported by Walz, that 50% of voters say they disapprove of.
The state’s new flag has become a cultural and political flashpoint in a state already reeling from one of the largest fraud scandals in U.S. history, heavily involving the Somali immigrant community. The flag was approved by a 13-member commission created by the Democratic-controlled legislature in 2023. Critics of the flag say it is overly simplistic and some have even knocked it as bearing a resemblance to Somalia’s national flag.
MINNESOTA LAWMAKERS UNLOAD ON WALZ’S ‘LEGACY’ AFTER HE TOUTS FRAUD RECORD IN FINAL ADDRESS: ‘RIDICULOUS’

“Two issues that unite a majority of Minnesotans are the rejection of Tim Walz and his failed policies and our hatred for the Minnesota Somali state flag,” Republican House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, who represents Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District, told Fox News Digital. “The flag is an embarrassment and good on the cities who are actively removing it from their city halls and communities.”
“President Trump is more popular than Tim Walz in his home state because Minnesotans are sick and tired of Walz siding with illegal aliens and Somali fraudsters over his hardworking, taxpaying constituents.” he continued. “The legacy of Tim Walz will be the fires that destroyed Minneapolis, the fraud that he allowed to be stolen under his watch, and his failures that have harmed our great state.”

Fraud appears to have played a significant role in Walz’s cratering approval, which is evidenced by a 10-point drop in his support since last year as the fraud scandal has dominated headlines.
Only 1% of Republicans in the state say they approve of the job Walz is doing to go along with 73% of Democrats and 32% of Independents.
“America rejected Tim Walz in 2024,” Republican Minnesota State Sen. Michael Holmstrom told Fox News Digital. “Now Minnesotans are following suit. The good news for Tim is that, now that his record is on full display, he could soon be the most popular guy in the jailhouse.”
Republican State Sen. Mark Koran told Fox News Digital that the polls “really tell you what Gov. Walz has done to himself.”
“He let his fraud crisis blow up and didn’t do anything to fix it while he was busy shoving all this radical stuff into state government,” Koran said. “After years of extreme far-left ideology and policies that don’t help normal people, Minnesotans have had enough. His legacy is going to be the fraud crisis and desecrating the state flag. Minnesota is just tired of it.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Walz’s office for comment.
