President Donald Trump has formally endorsed MyPillow founder Mike Lindell in the Republican primary for Minnesota governor, calling him a dedicated patriot who can rescue the state from what Trump described as decline. Trump posted the endorsement on his Truth Social account, praising Lindell as the “Pillow Man” and expressing confidence in his ability to turn things around. Lindell, a prominent election denier who has echoed Trump’s baseless claims about fraud in the 2020 presidential election, joins a competitive field that includes state House Speaker Lisa Demuth. Trump has repeatedly criticized outgoing Democratic Gov. Tim Walz, accusing his administration of allowing widespread fraud in federally funded childcare programs—allegations Walz disputes. The primary is scheduled for August 11, and the winner will face Democratic U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar in November’s general election.
