Minogue cruises to Massachusetts GOP governor nomination

Mike Minogue won the Massachusetts Republican gubernatorial primary in a landslide over Brian Shortsleeve, taking roughly 80% of the vote to Shortsleeve’s about 29% and advancing to a November matchup with Gov. Maura Healey. He framed the victory as a movement and thanked supporters; Healey and Democrats labeled him MAGA-aligned, while Shortsleeve endorsed him after the result. Minogue, a former Abiomed CEO, previously dominated the state GOP convention, signaling momentum heading into the general election where Trump-aligned attacks are expected to intensify.
