Mike Lindell Stepping Down as MyPillow CEO to Focus on Minnesota Governor's Race
Lindell said he is putting Minnesota above his business interests after MyPillow lost major retailers and millions in revenue.
- On Tuesday, Mike Lindell stepped down as CEO of MyPillow to focus on his Minnesota governor campaign, reducing his ownership stake to a minority while remaining on the Board of Directors.
- James Furlong, MyPillow's president from 2004 to 2019, will replace Lindell as CEO, taking over the company Lindell founded in 2004 and built into a direct-sales sensation through infomercials.
- After earning President Donald Trump's endorsement in July, Lindell leads in polls ahead of the August 11 primary, competing against Republicans Kendall Qualls and Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth.
- Amid concerns regarding Lindell's domicile, the Minnesota Republican Party recently asked officials to clarify residency rules, while the company previously suffered major losses after retailers dropped the brand following his controversial election claims.
- Whoever wins the Republican nomination will likely face Sen. Amy Klobuchar, the presumptive Democratic candidate, in the November election as Lindell dedicates full attention to his gubernatorial bid.
