Obama endorses Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan in U.S. Senate race
Obama praised Flanagan’s organizing background and Minnesota policy work as she campaigns for universal healthcare and anti-corruption priorities.
- On Monday, Oct. 26, Former President Barack Obama endorsed Peggy Flanagan for the Minnesota Senate, citing her record on minimum wage and paid family medical leave.
- Flanagan faces Republican Michele Tafoya, who holds an endorsement from President Donald Trump, with just over a week until Election Day.
- "It means the world to have the former president's endorsement," Flanagan said, while Obama emphasized her fight for universal healthcare and efforts to take on corruption in Washington.
- Recent KSTP/SurveyUSA polling shows Flanagan leading Tafoya by three points, a shift from September when Tafoya had pulled even with her opponent.
- With Election Day on Nov. 3 approaching, neither candidate has confirmed if they will campaign with President Trump, though Tafoya welcomes support from all voters.
