Trump Backs Election Denier Lindell in Minnesota GOP Primary as Polls Tighten
Trump’s backing could help Lindell raise money as polling shows a tight three-way Republican race and Democrats hold a strong edge in November.
- President Donald Trump gave his "complete and total endorsement" to MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell for Minnesota governor on Wednesday via Truth Social, praising him as "one of America's greatest and most hard working Patriots" as Lindell leads the Republican primary with 27% support.
- Lindell has long been a public supporter of Trump, repeatedly backing the president's false claims about the 2020 election; Trump signaled his backing in December before Wednesday's formal endorsement, cementing years of alignment on election denialism.
- In a WCCO interview, Lindell said voting machines "need to go" and be "melted down... and turned into prison bars" if he wins, while stating Trump's endorsement will fuel fundraising beyond the $3 million already raised.
- Political scientist Larry Jacobs warned Newsweek the endorsement could harm Republican chances, as Trump's intervention is "particularly damaging" to Minnesota Republicans facing Senator Amy Klobuchar, whom critics say the endorsement will hand a "huge landslide victory."
- Trump-Endorsed candidates won 220 of 227 primary races this cycle, yet Minnesota's Democratic lean and Trump's 32 percent approval rating there position Democrats with a 94 percent chance of holding the governor's seat, according to prediction markets.
