- On Tuesday, Matt Little won the Democratic-Farmer-Labor primary in Minnesota's Second District, securing the nomination to replace Rep. Angie Craig in the general election.
- The seat became open when Craig launched a Senate bid, prompting a crowded primary. Little, a former Lakeville mayor and Sen., positioned himself as a progressive successor.
- Little defeated Sen. Matt Klein and Rep. Kaela Berg despite $3.5 million in outside spending from 314 Action supporting Klein. He gained backing from Rep. Pramila Jayapal and the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC.
- In the general election, Little will face Republican Sen. Eric Pratt, who ran uncontested and promised to "crack down on fraud, abuse and the people who exploit the system."
- The Second District is a swing district critical for House control, with voters energized by healthcare and Little's opposition to President Donald Trump's mass deportation efforts.
