MyPillow CEO, 2020 election denier, and alternative Covid-treatment champion Mike Lindell says he is “99% there” on committing to run for Governor of Minnesota.
The Star Tribune reported that Lindell has moved his residency from Texas to his native Land of 10,000 Lakes and has polled hypothetical matchups between himself and Governor Tim Walz, who is running for a third term. Lindell—who does not believe the outcome of most recent elections, even the ones Trump won—previously floated gubernatorial runs in 2018 and 2022 that ultimately never materialized.
He announced he was “considering” a 2026 run in March, saying to potential opponents, “Well, what are they going to do? ‘Well, Mike Lindell, you know he was a crack addict?’ Yeah, what else you got?” Lindell has openly discussed recovering from cocaine and crack addiction as he built MyPillow.
So, for people not in Minnesota… our breed of GOP is particularly nuts.
Last race, it was Scott Jensen who was the least nuts.
Good news: His lumpy pillow company sucks so hard that they got evicted from their warehouse, and almost got evicted from the main production plant. Also I’m pretty sure he still owes that kid money.
He’s going to be campaigning against Walz. Probably not going to do well. We like Walz. Walz is awesome.
Hope it works out. Trump administration is actively trying to fuck with voter rights and most likely working towards rigging elections for MAGA sycophants.
Cheers for the explanation. I just saw old[er] white man and was gonna say “I bet Minnesotans are incredibly excited for his take on right wing”.
