President Trump Endorses MyPillow's Mike Lindell For Minnesota Governor
2026-07-16
[ZERO] President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced he is endorsing MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell as the Republican candidate for Minnesota governor, saying he is one of "America’s greatest and most hard working Patriots."

"Mike will be SPECTACULAR!!! He truly loves Minnesota, as do I, and wants to bring it back from oblivion and embarrassment. He can do it!" Trump wrote via his Truth Social platform, calling Lindell "the ’Pillow Man.’"

The president added that "nobody has sacrificed more than Mike Lindell in fighting for our country, especially when it comes to Election Integrity."

Trump was referring to backlash against the MyPillow brand in response to Lindell’s statements following the 2020 presidential election that significant fraud was involved in the contest.

In response, Lindell wrote on X that he is "honored" to have received Trump’s backing.

Lindell is part of a Republican field competing in an Aug. 11 primary for the state’s seat in a bid to replace outgoing Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat who announced earlier this year that he would not seek reelection. The announcement came after scrutiny of his state’s handling of a widespread fraud scandal that also drew federal attention.

The GOP list includes Minnesota Republican House Speaker Lisa Demuth. On the Democratic side, longtime Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) headlines the field.
Does this mean she’ll be leaving the Senate?
In a separate post on Wednesday, Trump criticized Klobuchar as "corrupt" and "incompetent" before he accused Minnesota’s elections of being rigged against Republicans since President Richard Nixon won the state in the 1972 presidential election. He reiterated his support for Lindell in his post.

Responding to Trump’s announcement on Wednesday, Klobuchar wrote in a post on X: "Mike Lindell is Donald Trump’s choice. I hope to be Minnesota’s."
