Lindell’s candidacy will test whether Minnesota voters are ready for an outsider who speaks plainly, fights unapologetically, and refuses to bow to media pressure. Winning won’t be easy, but if anyone believes in miracles — it’s Mike Lindell.
LifeSite News reports:
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is seemingly on the verge of announcing his bid to become the next Republican governor of Minnesota.
On Wednesday, a committee named “Mike Lindell for Governor” was filed with the state’s Campaign Finance Board. The group lists a chairman, treasurer, and banking information.
In an interview with Minesota Public Radio, Lindell said he’s “98 percent sure” he’ll jump in the race, though he has not fully committed.
If he does, he will face off against 12 other candidates, including heavyweights such as Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth and GOP state Rep. Kristin Robbins. Lindell is expected to make an official announcement on December 11.
…
While broadly popular in the North Star State, Walz has come under intense media scrutiny in the last week after being accused of being complicit in Somali immigrants abusing the state’s welfare system. Keith Ellison, the state’s left-wing attorney general, has been implicated as well.
…
President Donald Trump weighed in on the matter well with a Truth Social post. “Minnesota, under Governor Walz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity,” Trump said “I am … hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota. Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State, and BILLIONS of Dollar are missing. Send thumbtack to where they came from. It’s OVER!”
