Lindell questioned multiple projections that forecast Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth advancing to November’s general election. She led Lindell by about 11 percentage points as of Wednesday morning with 99% of votes counted, according to The Associated Press . As vote-counting showed Demuth’s lead widening throughout Tuesday evening, Lindell told reporters there appeared to be last-minute “mathematical deviations” in the results. The president endorsed Lindell in July, stating, “Nobody has sacrificed more than Mike Lindell in fighting for our country, especially when it comes to Election Integrity.” “Many people say Venezuela rigged the election against Mike Lindell because they don’t like his pillows,” Rep. Ted Lieu (D-California) joked on X .
