Craig and Flanagan clash on healthcare, fraud, and Israel ahead of Minnesota primary
U.S. Rep. Angie Craig and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan are locked in a fierce DFL primary battle for the U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota, with the August 11 primary approaching. The candidates have sharply diverged on healthcare, immigration, and foreign policy, while trading personal attacks over campaign finance and past controversies. Craig advocates for a public option in healthcare and has faced criticism for her vote on the Laken Riley Act, while Flanagan supports Medicare for All and has been targeted over state fraud issues. Recent debates and endorsements have intensified the rivalry, with both candidates promising to support the winner in the general election.
