> Sen. Amy Klobuchar secured the Minnesota Democratic nomination for governor on Tuesday with little opposition. She will now face Republican state House Speaker Lisa Demuth in the general election. Demuth won the GOP primary even though President Donald Trump had endorsed Mike Lindell. Klobuchar pledged to serve as a “transformative governor” after her primary victory.
