Leaders in the Minnesota House are holding separate news conferences Thursday to announce a joint deal to reboot a chamber stalled since mid-January.

Gov. Tim Walz has scheduled a special election for a Minnesota House vacancy for March 11. It's the seat that will determine whether the House is tied 67 to 67 or if Republicans lock in a majority that allows them to pass bills on their own.

This is an MPR News morning update hosted by Phil Picardi. Music by Gary Meister.
