Minnesota Senators Klobuchar, Fischbach Face Election Challenges

In Minnesota's Fourth Congressional District, incumbent Democrat Betty McCullum faces Republican May Lor Xiong, who emphasizes economic issues and inflation. McCullum, a long-serving representative since 2000, highlights her advocacy for democracy, reproductive rights, and climate action. Meanwhile, in the Seventh District, Republican Rep. Michelle Fischbach competes against Democrat A.J. 'John' Peters, focusing on agricultural concerns and rural healthcare. Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar is heavily favored against anti-establishment Republican Royce White, who has gained attention for his controversial views and background as a former NBA player. Klobuchar aims for a record fourth term, having significantly out-fundraised White, who has been endorsed by Trump strategist Steve Bannon. In Rhode Island, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse seeks re-election against Patricia Morgan, who criticizes his tax policies while Whitehouse champions environmental initiatives and healthcare support.
