Who could replace Amy Klobuchar in the U.S. Senate?
An election victory leaves Minnesota with another political question: who could fill Amy Klobuchar's U.S. Senate seat? FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul's conversation with analyst Blois Olson and Leah Beno is drawing the strongest daily viewing among its uploads getting the most attention now.
Olson discusses Steve Simon and Kelly Morrison as potential replacements, alongside an expected recount in Minnesota's 1st Congressional District. Klobuchar has served in the U.S. Senate since 2007, so her move to the governor's office would bring a substantial change to the state's congressional delegation.
Another transition gets a more personal treatment in the station's interview with Karla Hult. The former KARE 11 journalist, elected to represent parts of Bloomington and Edina, sets out priorities including housing costs, child care, health care and gun safety.
Politics wasn't the week's most-watched new upload, though. That distinction belongs to "El Niño may not prevent a cold, snowy Minnesota winter," in which Cody Matz explains how snow cover can lower temperatures and why a possible sudden stratospheric warming event complicates the outlook. His caution matters: the potential cold spells he discusses are beyond the seven-day forecast.
Across its 15 uploads, FOX 9 also covered the Gophers' loss to UCLA and a fatal pursuit crash in St. Paul. The channel added about 4,000 subscribers and drew roughly 6.2 million views over the week, the largest weekly view gain among the nearby local-news peers. Its daily viewing is nevertheless below its usual pace. For FOX 9, the freshest momentum is coming from Minnesota's post-election questions, rather than Saturday's football postmortem.
