Lindell Leads GOP Race in Minnesota

Minnesota’s Republican governor’s race is exploding with drama as MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell surges ahead in polls, now leading with 27%, ahead of House Speaker Lisa Demuth at 22% and businessman Kendall Qualls at 17%. Though President Trump hasn’t officially endorsed anyone, he’s praised Lindell, fueling a scramble for his backing—especially as Demuth, who lost her party’s endorsement to Qualls, stays in the race citing voting machine concerns. Qualls, meanwhile, says she should’ve honored her pledge to drop out. In the general election, Senator Amy Klobuchar, with DFL backing and a massive war chest, looks poised to crush any GOP contender—but Demuth’s campaign is betting she’d be the best Republican to challenge Klobuchar, hoping to sway primary voters. Financially, Demuth’s $500K cash cushion dwarfs Qualls’ $100K, but still pales compared to Klobuchar’s $3M. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
