Klobuchar Leads DFL as GOP Field Grows in Minnesota Governor Primary

Minnesota’s governor primary tightens as Sen. Amy Klobuchar leads the DFL field, with six other DFL hopefuls also in the mix, while a spirited Republican contest features Kendall Qualls, Mike Lindell (endorsed by Trump), Lisa Demuth and others vying for the party’s endorsement. The winner will advance to November to face incumbent Gov. Tim Walz, with a Green Party candidate Steven Young also on the ballot amid concerns over a looming state budget deficit and fraud-related issues.
