U.S. Rep. Angie Craig (D-Minn.), an out lesbian who entered Congress after flipping a Republican-held district in 2018, has lost her bid for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. Craig, 54, was widely considered the more moderate candidate in the race against Minnesota Lt. Gov. Craig would have become the third out lesbian to serve in the U.S. Senate, after Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin and former California Sen. Laphonza Butler. Flanagan, a citizen of the White Earth Nation, would become the first Native American woman to serve in the Senate. Pocan, one of the most vocal opponents of Trump and the MAGA movement, represents a safe Democratic seat in the Madison area.
