Rep. Michelle Fischbach has won the Republican primary in Minnesota's 7th Congressional District, defeating challenger Steve Boyd by nearly 10,000 votes. Despite lacking the GOP endorsement, Fischbach received support from former President Donald Trump. She has a strong conservative voting record and previously served as lieutenant governor and president of the Minnesota Senate. Boyd campaigned as a more hardline candidate, emphasizing faith and family values, but was significantly outspent by Fischbach, who invested over $1 million in her campaign. Fischbach is expected to face Democratic candidate AJ Peters in the upcoming November election, where she is favored to retain her seat. Boyd's criticism centered on Fischbach's perceived disconnect from her constituents, claiming she did not adequately engage with ordinary voters in the district.
