Race for rare open Senate seat in Minnesota heats up well ahead of primary
Candidates from the Democratic-Farmer-Labor and Republican parties compete for the open Senate seat with fundraising differences and endorsement battles shaping the 2026 primary.
The race for a rare open Senate seat in Minnesota is heating up well ahead of the primary, with Democrats having two prominent officeholders raking in money and trotting out backers as they seek their party's nod.
On the Republican side, several candidates said they're prepared to buck tradition and move to a contested primary election if party delegates pass them over for the GOP endorsement.
Next November's winner could be a voice of opposition to President Donald Trump's administration or an ally in helping move the president's agenda.
