Trump endorses Jensen as GOP makes late play in Minnesota governor's race
FOX 9 ^ | Oct 26 2022 | Theo Keith

"Minnesota finally has a chance to have a great Governor. His name is Dr. Scott Jensen, the Republican Gubernatorial Candidate, and he will bring Minnesota back from the brink," Trump said on Truth Social, the social media platform he founded last year.

A Trump endorsement fires up the GOP's base, though many would've voted for Jensen anyway. It could have the opposite effect on moderate voters in a state Trump lost by 233,000 votes in 2020. Jensen downplayed Trump's endorsement, saying he hadn't asked for it.

"While we have not actively sought the endorsement of political leaders, we are grateful for those who have recognized our ability to lead and Heal Minnesota," Jensen said in an overnight statement.

DFL Gov. Tim Walz continues to lead Jensen, but the race has tightened in recent weeks. On Tuesday, the Republican Governors Association sent $750,000 in, funneling the money through a newly formed in-state group called Heal Minnesota. The money will pay for television ads that start Thursday and run through Election Day, according to federal filings.

Would that be the ballots cast by residents of the cemeteries in Minnesota?

“Moderate” voters in Minnesota are turned off to an amazing degree by the antics of the Democrat-Farmer-Labor party of that state, which has gone full woke and extreme green, leaving no path for reconciliation.

Not nearly as many as you think. Most will be harvested out of the Somali communities in the Twin Cities...

My dad who lived in MN called it during Reagan.
Until Reagan, you had the choice of a fool and the Prince of Fools.

I always have said the lesser of two evils or the evil of two lessers.

I’m not sure even Wellstone would approve of antics of the current crop of DFL officials. His beliefs RE: socialism and environmentalism were leading edge for his time, but as best as I could tell he was honest and sincere. And as he was a good former college wrestler I doubt he’d be for the current gender bending nonsense.
