“If the Elections in Minnesota weren’t RIGGED, any Republican could win, but they were, and that is why nobody has won there since Richard Nixon many years ago. I thought I won it all three times, only to be disappointed in the end. Vote for Mike Lindell for Governor, who has my Complete and Total Endorsement, and forget about these Corrupt Dumocrats like Amy Klobuchar. MAKE MINNESOTA GREAT AGAIN!”
— Donald Trump, President

Former President Donald Trump defended his endorsement of My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell for Minnesota governor in a Wednesday post on Truth Social, attacking Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar, who is running for governor after incumbent Tim Walz declined to seek another term. Trump repeated unsubstantiated claims that Minnesota’s elections are manipulated, arguing that no Republican has won the state since Richard Nixon for that reason. The endorsement drew criticism from figures like former White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter, who predicted it would help Klobuchar secure a landslide victory. Klobuchar, who holds a significant fundraising edge, is the likely Democratic nominee according to local reports.
