Kendall Qualls Clinches Minnesota GOP Endorsement on 10th Ballot

Army veteran Kendall Qualls won the Minnesota GOP endorsement for governor at Duluth after a marathon 10-ballot vote, defeating House Speaker Lisa Demuth amid voting-device glitches and debate over the process. The result could lead to a primary with other contenders including Mike Lindell, as the party weighs unity against internal tensions, while Democrats’ Amy Klobuchar is seen as the likely DFL nominee.
