Donald Trump Endorses 'Pillow Man' Mike Lindell for Minnesota Governor

Trump gave Mike Lindell his complete and total endorsement, backing the MyPillow CEO as a leading GOP primary contender with 27% support.

  • President Donald Trump gave his "complete and total endorsement" to MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell in the Minnesota gubernatorial race on Wednesday, praising him as "one of America's greatest and most hard working Patriots."
  • Lindell established his profile as the "MyPillow Guy" and has been a frequent Trump supporter, echoing the president's false claims that the 2020 election defeat to Democrat Joe Biden was fraudulent.
  • A recent Survey USA and KSTP poll shows Lindell leading the Republican field with 27% support, ahead of House Speaker Lisa Demuth at 22% and Kendall Qualls at 17% as early voting continues.
  • If elected, Lindell plans to replace voting machines with hand counts and paper ballots, telling WCCO that machines "need to be melted down... and turned into prison bars."
  • Voters head to the polls for Minnesota's Aug. 11 primary, where the Republican nominee will face the DFL candidate in November, with Sen. Amy Klobuchar the presumptive favorite for the Democrats.
