President Donald Trump’s endorsement wasn’t enough to power Mike Lindell to the Republican nomination for governor in Minnesota. The former MyPillow CEO is projected to lose to Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth in Tuesday’s Republican primary.
Lindell is a conspiracy theorist and strong supporter of Trump and his outlandish claims that voter fraud corrupted the 2020 presidential election. His advocacy made him a target for a series of defamation lawsuits but won Trump’s support.
“Mike Lindell deserves a BIG WIN IN MINNESOTA today,” Trump said Tuesday on his Truth Social platform. “Nobody has worked harder, and given up so much, in fighting for free and fair Elections.”
Though he had support from the national leader of the Republican Party, Minnesota Republicans wanted someone else to be their standard-bearer in the governor’s race, endorsing health care industry executive Kendall Qualls.
Minnesota Republican Party chairman Alex Plechash said Minnesota Republicans were surprised when Trump endorsed Lindell in July.
“We strongly support the President and his agenda, but Minnesota Republicans must choose the candidate best positioned to defeat Amy Klobuchar,” Plechash said in a statement last month
Mike has gone from snorting cocaine to snorting cocaine cut with baking soda to now snorting baking soda cut with Ajax cleaner. God speed lumpy pillow guy.
Why is every MAGA person just a grifter who smells their own farts for fun?
Same thing happened in GA. Trump just moved on and endorsed the one that beat his pick.
He reminds me of Charlie’s weird uncle from Always Sunny.
Oh darn, the guy who chopped up discarded mattresses and put them in pillows had another setback. Don’t worry, I am sure Trump will just appoint him to some important position soon.
Just a quick reminder that nobody ever has to concede. They win or lose and that’s that. In case anyone was worried.
If anyone ever gets a time machine, please be sure to go back to 2000 and inform Al Gore of this, along with “you playing nice won’t make them play nice”.
Lmao
It feels sad that I felt relief that he didn’t win. That’s how low my faith is in the electorate at this point.
Demuth might be worse.
She was the ringleader for the state house coup back in 2025 (where they tried to elect her speaker of the house after playing games with absent members.)
Now, to be fair, looking into the results of a Republican primary and expecting to feel hopeful is like going to the barn animals exhibit at a county fair and expecting to smell something other than animal shit.
I was rooting for him, because his residence is in Texas, and he votes in Texas, so he is ineligible to run for office in Minnesota. I was hoping he’d win the primary, then they’d disqualify him, and the Democrat Klobuchar could run unopposed.
because his residence is in Texas, and he votes in Texas, so he is ineligible to run for office in Minnesota.
Then why was he running for office in Minnesota? Why not run for office in Texas?
(Or at least change residence first. Changing residence is pretty easy when you’ve got money.)
Because cocaine told him it was a good idea, so he did it. That’s like his entire life trajectory.
In a parallel universe, Billy Mayes is here as the hypeman for Bernie Sanders, and following Bernie’s 2 terms, he went on to become governor of Pennsylvania.
haha Republicans are such morons. They voted for a health care industry executive as their “standard bearer” because of course they did. Not this this shitbird would have been better, just sayin’.
So the crackhead conspiracy theorist who was endorsed by the Pedo-in-Chief lost? How could this have happened?
Ever see the video of him at some MAGA conference, and some 12 year old YouTuber asks him for a source that the 2020 election was stolen, and My Pillow Guy starts spewing conspiracy after conspiracy, with the kid asking for a source, until he finally says “So your source is just Trust Me, Bro?”
Watching him get owned by a 10 year old was beautiful.
Oh my god theres no fucking way this guy is running for office. At least everyone will get a free pillow right? … right?!?
Sure, you get a free “pillow”.
(Actually a lumpy bag of industrial waste foam cutoff pieces.)
The guy literally looks like he ate Tweety Bird and is holding him captive in his mouth.
OH BULLSHIT.
He clearly looks exactly like Charlie Kelly’s weird uncle from always sunny.
Damn shame. That would have been the funniest race of 2026, bar none.
