Entenza won’t comment on Robinson
Fox 9 anchor Robyne Robinson told the St. Paul Pioneer Press today that DFL gubernatorial candidate Matt Entenza asked her to be his running mate.
Robinson, who's leaving her TV news job after 20 years, told the newspaper that she is considering Entenza's offer.
Entenza has until June 1 to announce his running mate. That's the day candidate filings close. But in an interview with MPR News, the former state representative from St. Paul wouldn't confirm or deny the Robinson story.
"Robyne Robinson is a great person," Entenza said. "But I don't have any comment about any particular person. We've talked to lots of different people to see what their interest might be and see if there's a fit."
Entenza said he plans to announce his selection via Twitter.
