After hearing news that MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has taken a lead in polls ahead of Tuesday’s Republican gubernatorial primary, a rural Minnesota Democrat told me with certainty, “Amy would smush him.” Lindell, on the other hand, faces two formidable opponents: Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth and businessman Kendall Qualls, who’s been endorsed by the state GOP. To that woman’s point, Klobuchar has won every statewide race she has entered by double-digit margins. Trump even insulted Minnesota in his endorsement of Lindell: “Mike truly loves Minnesota, as do I, and wants to bring it back from oblivion and embarrassment.” Even at this year’s Minnesota Farmfest, the agribusiness trade show that always attracts political candidates, Lindell didn’t wear the typical outfit of jeans and plaid.
