"Qualls’ campaign after the press conference said that Nicholson had misspoke; he’s actually 48, not 38." minnesotareformer.com/2026/03/03/k...

Soooo, Nicholson is actually 47, not 48... #mngov @minnesotareformer.com

A fascist manifesto is gaining fans on the right, including state Sen. Roger Chamberlain. • Minnesota Reformer State Sen. Roger Chamberlain has taken an interest in the neo-fascist, self published book "Bronze Age Mindset," as well as an interest in neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

Chamberlain has openly expressed his support for Bronze Age Mindset, a fascist manifesto that argues that equality & human rights are unnatural & that the proper rulers of the world are white men #mngov minnesotareformer.com/2020/08/24/a...

In 2020, Chamberlain retweeted multiple tweets defending the Proud Boys, a white supremacist hate group known for anti-Muslim & misogynistic rhetoric, & inciting violence. #mngov x.com/Salencita/st...

A Better Minnesota on X: ".@rcchamberlain1 decided to let his true colors show even more today. This is sickening. #mnleg https://t.co/so3ZjKl0tZ" / X .@rcchamberlain1 decided to let his true colors show even more today. This is sickening. #mnleg https://t.co/so3ZjKl0tZ

What's notably missing from stories about this so far is that Qualls also tapped former conservative MN State Senator Roger Chamberlain as his legislative advisor. Chamberlain has a long-standing record of amplifying racist rhetoric & defending white supremacist groups #mngov x.com/ABetterMN/st...

Trump's brownshirts killed two people in Amy Klobuchar's state #MNGov

Tonight, Trump will probably tell you what he THINKS the state of Minnesota looks like. But the truth looks like what Minnesotans like Sammi are seeing in their own communities. #sotu #minnesota #mngov

Trump’s ICE agents are terrorizing Minnesota school children Tell MN Republicans to do what’s right and hold ICE accountable for the damage they’ve caused to Minnesota children and families.

Klobuchar Puts Minnesota Governor in Solid Democrat Column Be careful what you wish for.

Cook Political moves #MNGov from 'Likely Dem' to 'Safe Dem' after Amy Klobuchar enters the race.

Forget a blue wave.

Minnesota Republicans might just be facing a 500-year flood.

COOK POLITICAL:

Klobuchar “quickly unified her party behind a gubernatorial campaign that leaves Republicans without a viable path to victory. .. this race shifts from Likely Democrat to Solid Democrat.”

I’ve known Amy for nearly 2 decades and spent time with her when she came to help @MaryLandrieu & Keynoted several events. Getting to talk to her about her early days running in Hennepin County… to seeing her fighting for us in the senate. She will be a great Gov! #MNGov

Sen. Amy Klobuchar announces run for Minnesota governor The Democrat and former presidential candidate is looking to replace Gov. Tim Walz

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (DFL-MN) announced her run for Governor in Minnesota to succeed the outgoing Gov. Tim Walz (DFL-MN).

Klobuchar's run for #MNGov makes it a record 4 sitting senators running for governor, surpassing the previous record of 3 in 1942. This is notable because historically governors were much more likely to run for Senate than the other way around.

Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D) is officially running for governor of her home state. She is the 4th sitting senator to make a run for governor in 2026, the most in the era of popular elections for Senate (since 1913). #MNGov

House Speaker Lisa Demuth reflects on chaotic weeks in Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth responds to fatal shootings of two Minnesotans by federal immigration authorities and the potential impact on the race for governor.

Trump's ICE agents have abducting, abusing, & unjustly detaining Minnesotans, Trump's approval ratings are at their lowest, but that's not stopping Lisa Demuth from STILL seeking his endorsement #mngov

Conservative #mngov candidates Lisa Demuth, Mike Lindell, Kendall Qualls, and Scott Jensen have yet to denounce the attack against Rep. Ilhan Omar

Unless people have really, really, really short memories, GOP has no shot at #MNSEN or #MNGOV and Dems should have clear majorities in both houses of the legislature. Dunno if this attitude goes outside Twin Cities, but if it does, Brad Finstad in #MN01 should have some real worries.

Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal ‘retribution’ against Minnesota Chris Madel ended his GOP bid for MN governor, citing his inability to support federal "retribution"...

Chris Madel ended his GOP bid for MN governor, citing his inability to support federal "retribution" against the state. Madel, a top contender, announced his withdrawal after launching his campaign in December. #MNGov #News

Republican ends bid for #Minnesota governor, citing ‘unconstitutional’ #ICE surge
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

A top #GOP candidate for #MNgov has dropped out of the race, sharply criticizing what he called a “federal retribution on the citizens of our state.”

#Minneapolis

#MNgov

Seriously, this is SIGNIFICANT. (I mean, we're still unfortunately left with a Lindell-Klobuchar race, but it's legitimately jarring to see this break from the national MAGA stranglehold). #MNGOV

Madel said he cannot support national GOP’s “stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.”

How about every other #mngov candidate who has continued supporting Trump's unpopular ICE operation or remained silent? Are they doubling down?

She’s gonna win by like 20-25% in November in #MNGov.
