AGP Executive Report

Last update: 41 minutes ago

Minnesota Primary Pulse: Minnesota’s primary is in the books, with Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan winning the DFL U.S. Senate nomination over Rep. Angie Craig, and House Speaker Lisa Demuth taking the GOP governor nod after beating MyPillow founder Mike Lindell—setting up a Klobuchar vs. Demuth governor matchup and Flanagan vs. Tafoya for Senate. Absentee Ballot Surge: The Secretary of State reported 206,196 absentee/mail ballots accepted by Monday 9 a.m., the highest pre-primary total in a non-presidential year. Progressives vs. Moderates: The broader Midwest picture echoed Minnesota’s fights: in Wisconsin, David Crowley narrowly beat socialist Francesca Hong for governor, underscoring how split the Democratic coalition remains heading into November. Election Security & Federal Monitoring: Ahead of Election Day, Minnesota faced heightened scrutiny as the DOJ sent monitors to polling sites in key counties. National Politics Spillover: Trump’s influence showed mixed results in GOP primaries, while his administration’s immigration crackdown stayed front and center across the region.
