Minnesota’s Political Earthquake | San Antonio News

Minnesota’s primaries delivered seismic shifts: Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, backed by Sanders and Warren, wins the Democratic Senate nomination as the state’s first female senator in decades. Meanwhile, GOP governor’s race saw a stunning twist—MyPillow’s Mike Lindell lost to House Speaker Lisa Demuth, a rare defeat for a Trump-endorsed candidate. Sen. Amy Klobuchar cruised to her party’s gubernatorial nod, promising affordability and accountability while taking aim at GOP rivals’ loyalty to Trump.

Tim Walz to drop his reelection bid, casting a long shadow over the upcoming battle between Flanagan, Demuth, and Klobuchar.
