Sen. Amy Klobuchar is widely expected to secure the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party’s nomination for governor. The Republican contest for governor is competitive, with three leading candidates: former MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, Minnesota House of Representatives Speaker Lisa Demuth, and Army veteran and former health care consultant and marketer Kendall Qualls.
Republican Contest
Demuth or Qualls could make history tonight if Republican voters decide to go with them, as no candidate of color for Minnesota has ever won a gubernatorial primary. Lindell has the endorsement of President Donald Trump and is ahead in multiple polls. Qualls received the state Republican Party endorsement after a heated convention, while Demuth leads all candidates in fundraising.
Polling places close at 8 p.m., and election results will be automatically updated approximately every 10 minutes throughout the evening.
