In Upper Midwest primaries, a test of progressive energy and Trump's influence

Reuters (via Investing.com) · back to the audit
Minnesota and Wisconsin's gubernatorial primaries on Tuesday feature two candidates situated at the far end of their parties' ideological spectrums. Former MyPillow CEO and 2020 conspiracy promoter Mike Lindell is running for the Republican nomination in Minnesota and Democratic socialist Francesca Hong is seeking the Democratic nomination in Wisconsin. The race is expected to test the progressive energy that has recently propelled left-wing Democrats to the top of their tickets. Hong is running without the endorsements of progressive heavyweights.
