MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell files paperwork to run for Minnesota governor

[question everything]

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has filed paperwork to run for governor of Minnesota, creating a campaign committee that will allow him to raise money. The Mike Lindell for Governor committee was registered with the state’s Campaign Finance Board on Wednesday. In an interview Wednesday morning, Lindell told the Minnesota Star Tribune that his run for governor “isn’t 100% yet,” but he intends to announce his decision at a news conference next week.
“I am going to announce either way on Dec. 11,” Lindell said.

Lindell’s possible entrance into the race would shake up what’s become a crowded field of Republicans who are seeking to challenge DFL Gov. Tim Walz. His proximity to President Donald Trump and prominence in the Make America Great Again movement could make him a top contender for the GOP nomination, despite concerns about his electability and promotion of debunked election fraud theories.

Lindell told the Star Tribune in October that he had polled hypothetical matchups against Walz and other Republicans running for governor. “If there was someone to win, it would be me,” Lindell said of the GOP field. Other prominent GOP candidates for governor include Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth, 2022 nominee Scott Jensen, state Rep. Kristin Robbins, businessman Kendall Qualls and attorney Chris Madel.

Most of the GOP candidates have openly welcomed Trump’s endorsement. But a run by Lindell, a close friend of the president, could dash their hopes of winning Trump’s backing.

He's probably just doing this to make money to pay off his massive debts.

3. Good! I wanna see the debate between Jensen and Lindell!

And hopefully that whack-a-doodle Royce White makes a run, too. Having them all on the same stage calling each other liars and crooks should sink them all.
