Outgoing Sen. Tina Smith (D‑MN), who has been serving since her 2018 appointment, threw her support behind Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan (D‑MN) to succeed her in the Senate, an early endorsement that bypasses Rep. Angie Craig, who enters the race with deep fundraising resources and several key endorsements.
“I have never been more proud to serve Minnesota than in this moment,” Smith said in a video posted on X. “Today, 3,000 federal agents are terrorizing our communities. Two Minnesotans, Alex and Renee, have been killed at the hands of federal agents. Families have been ripped apart, and people have been detained and arrested for no reason. Yet, even in the face of this violence, Minnesotans are showing the way. People all across the country are looking to us for a path forward, are seeing our courage and our resilience and our willingness to stand up against this bully.”
Smith added, “So I know that right now, there is no one that I trust more to stand with Minnesota than the lieutenant governor, Peggy Flanagan.”
Smith described Flanagan as a “fierce fighter” who has “delivered results for Minnesotans” and pledged to support her as the Democratic candidate to fill her seat. Flanagan echoed Smith’s urgency, stating, “We are in a really defining moment in our state and in our country. People live in fear of the federal government. They don’t know how they’re going to afford their lives.”
Flanagan committed to being a “progressive fighter,” asserting that the country “must push back against the status quo” and “ensure that people know it’s not the rich and powerful who control this country—it’s the people.” She called on voters to “join Team Peggy” and make Minnesota “a North Star in defending our democracy.”

It would be handy to be able to edit, or maybe even delete, our own posts.
Specifically, the people from Somalia. At least, they control Minnesota.

So you are endorsing the chick who coordinates the attacks on ICE agents and who has been ignoring fraud for years.
Minnesota: the Screwed-Up state.
I bet being a known gang member isn’t on the list.
Yes,
I have fat fingers.
I would love to be able to fix my typos!!!
Please!
They’re trying to get Peggy into a political run so she can blame her future indictment on politics.
Friggin’ female politicians. The greatest threat to American democracy.
Two absolutely worthless broads mentioned in one headline.
Even democrats should be voting for Michele Tafoya in this election.
Tina Smith & Amy Klobuchar have done nothing for the people of MN. Both are aware, and most likely in on the grift/fraud epidemic robbing taxpayers of their hard-earned dollars.
Flanagan is just plain mentally ill, she’s a psycho.
Just take a look at her picture. She is so weird looking I think Republicans could win that seat on her appearance alone.
Flanagan claims to be an American Indian, so she can join Elizabeth Warren in her fake Indian caucus.

You have to remember that DFL Minnesoders are completely stupid.
They’re smart enough to move out of state when they retire, so that the DFLers don’t steal their SS and give it to the Somalians.
Flanadan is an American hijaber.
The Somalians in MinneSomalia have leared how to afford their lives - with Hijab Peggy's help.
“””They’re smart enough to move out of state when they retire, so that the DFLers don’t steal their SS and give it to the Somalians.”””
The skinnies don’t need SS numbers. They are special.
Yes, the bulbheads ARE special.
MinneSomalia actually taxes Social Security, unlike a lot of other states. You can live in a snowbank, and give your retirement cash to Tim Walz and Peggy Flanagan.
Natasha Owens sings the Somali Walz.
