A Republican hasn’t won the MN Attorney General office in 52 years (1966). With this racist Communist buffoon as the DFL nominee, this might be an excellent shot at winning it.
He has serious primary competition from Ex-Ag Mike Hatch and DFL convention endorsed progtard activist Matt Pelikan, who beat out the incumbent for the party endorsement because she wasn’t anti-gun enough (she then dropped out and switched to the Gov race, Rep Nolan who’s leaving his swing seat is her running mate, so that’s 2 sitting Congressman running for state office).
Given that his nomination (even if he’s favored) is not assured, and the GE should be competitive, why the heck is he running for this? He thinks it will help with a future bid for Gov/Senate? A loss would leave him out in the lurch.
