Lindell Plans Run Against Walz for Minnesota Governor

Mike Lindell, the founder of MyPillow and a prominent figure in the MAGA movement, has hinted at a potential run for governor of Minnesota in 2026, challenging the popular incumbent Tim Walz. During his show, Lindell expressed dissatisfaction with Walz, claiming that residents do not want him as governor. Walz, who has a 52% approval rating and is eligible for a third term, has not yet confirmed his intentions for the upcoming election. This is not the first time Lindell has considered running for office; he previously teased runs in 2018 and 2022. Lindell's political ambitions come amidst his controversial history, including being ordered to pay $5 million after promoting unfounded claims about the 2020 election. The political landscape may see humorous exchanges as Lindell's candidacy unfolds against Walz's established leadership.
