MyPillow Founder and CEO Mike Lindell announced Monday that he is considering running in Minnesota’s 2026 gubernatorial race.

Lindell — a Minnesota resident — claimed that “no one wants” Walz as governor. Notably, incumbent two-term Democratic Gov. Minnesota Tim Walz is eligible to run for reelection, but his name has also been floated as a potential contender in the 2028 presidential race.

“I live here in Minnesota,” Lindell said. “Everywhere I go, no one wants Tim Walz. They don’t.”

“It’s like even if you … are a Democrat and you think he [Walz] is a good Democrat governor, they don’t even like him for what they did, these nonsensical things he did,” Lindell added.

Lindell has been a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump for many years, and has previously spoken at Trump campaign rallies. He previously considered making a gubernatorial bid in 2022 amid encouragement from Trump, and also considered making a run in 2018.

“I’m looking at every single thing, option and doing my due diligence,” Lindell said of his potential gubernatorial bid.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris selected Walz as her running mate in their failed 2024 White House bid. Walz notably told The New Yorker in an interview published March 2 that he would consider making his own presidential bid in 2028 if the circumstances and his “skill set” were right.

The Democratic governor has faced pushback over some of the far-left initiatives he has promoted while in office, such as signing legislation in 2023 that mandates schools provide tampons in both girls’ and boys’ restrooms, which led to Trump and others giving him the nickname “Tampon Tim.”

“So how does Walz get away with doing these town halls that are basically insane?” Former Republican Minnesota Rep. Jason Lewis told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “How does he do that and he is still contemplating running for a third term? It’s because there’s a dysfunctional opposition, it’s not present there [in Minnesota], it’s doing the bidding of Democrats.”

In March, Walz set off on a tour hosting town hall events in red-leaning districts across the U.S. The left-wing governor admitted in an interview with New York Magazine published Monday that he can sometimes be a “train wreck” because he speaks “from the heart,” also telling the outlet that he thinks the Democratic Party is too “timid.”

Other people reportedly considering making a bid for the Minnesota governor’s mansion in 2026 include former Republican Minnesota gubernatorial nominee Scott Jensen, former Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Kendall Qualls, former Minnesota attorney general candidate Jim Schultz, and attorney Chris Madel.

The 2026 Minnesota gubernatorial election is set to take place on Nov. 3.

Lindell could not immediately be reached for comment.
