MINNEAPOLIS (KFGO) – Mike Lindell, the businessman better known to the world as the MyPillow Guy, is weighing a run for governor in Minnesota.
If he follows through on a campaign, it could be an early test of where the Republican Party is headed in the post-Donald Trump era. Lindell would bring a high profile to a race thanks to name recognition built on his ever-present TV ads.
But he would also bring baggage, with his support for Trump that included echoing Trump’s claims of a stolen election. Some Republican leaders in the state say Lindell’s activism has made it impossible for him to win a statewide election.
