Lindell Refuses to Concede Minnesota GOP Governor Primary as Demuth Clinches Victory

MyPillow founder Mike Lindell refused to concede Minnesota’s Republican governor primary after Lisa Demuth’s decisive lead (roughly 43.4% to 32.4%), saying votes remain to be counted and questioning the outcome. Demuth celebrated the victory and urged focus on the November race, while Lindell recently stepped down as MyPillow’s CEO to pursue the campaign and has a history of promoting election‑integrity claims; Trump endorsed Lindell. In the Democratic primary, Amy Klobuchar won the DFL race.
