President Donald Trump endorsed MyPillow founder Mike Lindell for Minnesota governor on Wednesday, backing a longtime ally and prominent promoter of false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
Trump’s Backing Reshapes Crowded Republican Primary "Mike will be SPECTACULAR!!!
He truly loves Minnesota, as do I, and wants to bring it back from oblivion and embarrassment.
He can do it!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.
He called Lindell "one of America’s greatest and most hard working Patriots" and the "Pillow Man." Lindell thanked Trump, writing, "I truly appreciate your confidence in me," and, "Let’s Make Minnesota Great Again!" The endorsement could reshape a crowded Republican contest before Minnesota’s Aug. 11 primary.
