Statement from Minnesota Republican Party Chairman Alex Plechash on President Trump’s Endorsement of Mike Lindell
“We were surprised by President Trump’s endorsement of Mike Lindell. We strongly support the President and his agenda, but Minnesota Republicans must choose the candidate best positioned to defeat Amy Klobuchar.
When the going got tough under Tim Walz, Mike Lindell left Minnesota for Texas. Now he wants Minnesota Republicans to overlook his serious financial baggage, public records showing tens of thousands of dollars in delinquent property taxes, significant electability concerns, and unanswered questions surrounding his running mate. Minnesota cannot afford to nominate a ticket that gives Democrats an easy target and creates the very real possibility of another DFL trifecta.
Other Republican candidates have spent years strengthening our party, supporting candidates, raising resources, and doing the hard work required to win elections.
Republican delegates considered Mike Lindell at the State Convention, and he finished third. We believe that is where he will finish in the August primary.
These are serious times, and they demand serious, disciplined leadership. Minnesota needs a governor who can unite Republicans, earn the support of independent voters, and defeat Amy Klobuchar.”
