MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, a controversial election denier and supporter of President Trump, has taken steps toward trying to become the governor of Minnesota in next year's midterm elections. State records show paperwork has been filed signaling Lindell may soon announce a statewide run. Lindell told CBS News in a phone call that he has not 100% decided on a gubernatorial run but wanted to file paperwork in case he does commit. He said earlier this year that he would run as a Republican.
Main Idea: Mike Lindell has filed paperwork for a possible run for Minnesota governor, but says he has not fully decided yet.
Key Points:
A Lindell run could deepen election fights and add more political noise for voters in Minnesota and beyond.
A crowded governor race could give voters more choices and push debate on election security and state issues.
