GOP finds its next progressive target in Minnesota

Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan is now the GOP's latest progressive target, following her decisive win in the Senate primary. Republicans aim to shift the midterm elections' focus from President Trump's low approval ratings to a broader contest between the GOP and a supposedly leftward-shifting Democratic Party. By highlighting Flanagan, they seek to frame the elections as a choice between their party and what they see as the extreme left in the Democrats. This strategy underscores the GOP's efforts to redefine the political battleground in their favor.
