Mike Lindell Hints He May Run Against Tim Walz in Minnesota

MyPillow founder and MAGA conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell has hinted he may challenge Minnesota Governor Tim Walz in 2026.

"I live here in Minnesota," Lindell said on his Mike Lindell Show on Monday. "Everywhere I go, no one wants Tim Walz. They don’t. I’m looking at every single thing, option and doing my due diligence," Lindell continued.

Lindell became a MAGA darling by pushing conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. He was sued by voting machine companies Smartmatic and Dominion Systems after his documentary "Absolute Proof" delivered no proof that the companies helped steal the election for Joe Biden.

He was also ordered to pay a cybersecurity expert $5 million after reneging on a challenge called "Prove Mike Wrong" about the 2020 election, in which he promised to award money to anyone who could prove his claims about 2020 were false.

The REAL number, at a bare minimum, is 99.3%.

Lindell V Waltz. What a boring debate. Funny but boring.

“Everywhere I go, no one wants Tim Walz.” Help me out English teachers.

Why do trump supporters choose to live and do what they do. (Guys with yachts don’t count). There is nothing rational or sane about their actions. I fail to see Lindell’s motivation except to be relevant to low hanging fruit.

Everyone wants you to run up in Michelle Bachman's old district (Emmer now). Well, the rest of state stopped buying the pillows and snake oil a long time ago. So, have at it pillow man.

Everywhere you go is likely a far-right nazi-wannabe hellhole.

Try a Walmart in Minneapolis and see how far that gets you!
