Minnesota GOP picks Lisa Demuth over Trump-backed Mike Lindell for governor against Democrat Amy Klobuchar
Demuth’s upset win follows GOP infighting over Lindell’s residency and electability, as Republicans sought a nominee to challenge Klobuchar.
- Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth won the Republican primary for governor on August 12, defeating MyPillow founder Mike Lindell and setting up a general election matchup against Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
- Despite leading in limited polling and carrying President Donald Trump's endorsement, Lindell faced intra-party attacks from the Minnesota GOP over residency questions that hampered his campaign in the final weeks.
- Demuth campaigned by blaming 'incompetent Democrat control' for Medicaid and pandemic aid fraud, highlighting the Fraud Prevention Agency Oversight Committee she established while leading the state House.
- At the Minnesota Farmfest forum earlier this month, Klobuchar accused GOP candidates of being 'a rubber stamp of Donald Trump' after launching her campaign in January.
- Democratic Gov. Tim Walz withdrew his re-election bid in January, clearing the path for Klobuchar, though Demuth faces an uphill battle in a state that favored Then-Vice President Kamala Harris by about 4 percentage points.
