Former ‘Summer House’ star loses House Democratic primary to take on Stauber in Minnesota

Trina Swanson has emerged victorious in the Democratic primary for Minnesota’s 8th Congressional District, positioning her to challenge incumbent Republican Betty Stauber in the upcoming election. Her win comes after defeating fellow Democrats John Munter and Luke Gulbranson, the latter known for his appearances on the Bravo reality series “Summer House.” This primary win is significant as it sets up a potentially competitive race, with Swanson bringing her experience as a former federal immigration official to the table. It’s a notable shift from the reality TV world to the political arena.
