Minnesota Governor's Race to Test Strength of Trump, Party Endorsement
Trump’s endorsement gives Lindell an edge as the field splits and polls show him ahead, while the state GOP questions his residency.
- On Tuesday, Minnesota voters cast ballots in a crowded Republican gubernatorial primary, where MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell sought the nomination following a late-game endorsement from President Donald Trump.
- The Minnesota Republican Party endorsed businessman Kendall Qualls at their convention, while Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth challenged both candidates throughout a campaign marked by internal party friction.
- SurveyUSA polling showed Lindell leading the field at 34%, followed by Demuth at 28% and Qualls at 17%. The contest tested the influence of the state party versus Trump's support.
- Whoever secures the GOP nomination will face U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar in November, as the party attempts to break a 20-year losing streak in statewide elections.
- Questions regarding Lindell's residency requirements persist, complicating the path forward. Klobuchar enters the general election with $4.4 million in cash on hand, positioning her as the favorite.
