Trump endorses Mike Lindell for Minnesota governor

President Trump's endorsement of Mike Lindell for Minnesota governor injects significant momentum into Lindell's campaign, just weeks before the GOP primary on August 11. Lindell faces competition from House Speaker Lisa Demuth and retired Army veteran Kendall Qualls, who previously secured the state GOP convention endorsement. Trump's backing underscores the high stakes of the race, reflecting the ongoing influence of the former president in the GOP's internal politics and signaling a potential shift in party dynamics. This move could impact voter turnout and the broader battle for control within the party in Minnesota.
