ST. PAUL, Minn. — Although pundits have pooh-poohed failed MyPillow entrepreneur Mike Lindell’s hints at running for governor as an amusing if not pathetic sideshow, Governor Tim Walz has taken notice. Rather than ignoring Lindell, Walz, a Democrat, who himself is seeking a third term, issued a statement:
“Mike Lindell is selling conspiracies, MAGA extremism, and pillows. He has no business holding the highest office in our state. Make no mistake about it, he would undo all of the work we’ve done to make Minnesota one of the best places to raise a family.”
Presumably Lindell would run as a Republican. He was a stalwart promoter of President Trump in 2000, although Trump has shunned him since the 2024 election.
