MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell files paperwork to run for MN governor

Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow, is taking steps to run for governor of Minnesota by forming a campaign committee. While he hasn't fully committed yet, he plans to announce his decision at a news conference on December 11.

Lindell's potential candidacy could significantly impact the crowded GOP field opposing DFL Gov. Tim Walz. His ties to President Trump and the MAGA movement may position him as a strong contender, despite concerns over his electability and promotion of election fraud claims.

Moderate Republicans worry that Lindell’s nomination might hinder their chances of winning since he embodies the extreme aspects of today’s GOP. Walz's campaign seems prepared to face him.
