Minnesota state House Speaker Lisa Demuth won the Republican primary for governor, defeating MyPillow founder and 2020 election denier Mike Lindell, who had received an endorsement from former President Donald Trump. Demuth will now face Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar in the general election.
The outcome marks a departure from Trump’s typical influence in Republican primaries. The Washington Examiner noted that Lindell's loss demonstrates that Trump’s endorsement was not enough to secure victory, while NBC News and NPR both highlighted the defeat of a key Trump ally. No sources reported on any specific reason for Lindell's loss beyond the simple result.
The general election is expected to be competitive, pitting Demuth against Klobuchar, who has held her Senate seat since 2007. The dynamic between these two candidates—one representing the Republican party and the other a long-standing Democratic senator—will likely shape the key issues of the campaign.
