Minnesota Speaker of the House Lisa Demuth has won the Republican primary for governor in her state, beating out the GOP-endorsed and Trump-backed candidates in the race.

Lindell had President Trump's endorsement but he lost to Lisa Demuth, the speaker of the state house. She'll face Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar in the fall for governor.

Walz announced he would not seek reelection in the wake of a massive social service and welfare fraud scandal in Minnesota.

The Associated Press called the race for the Minnesota House speaker at 11:26 p.m. with 45.1% of the vote to Lindell's 31%.
