Flanagan Wins Minnesota Democratic Senate Primary

In Minnesota’s U.S. Senate Democratic primary, progressive Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan faces moderate Rep. Angie Craig, with Flanagan backed by national progressives and Craig supported by party leaders and allies, highlighting a high-profile clash within the DFL. The race is tightly watched as fundraising, endorsements, and policy contrasts—on immigration, governance, and record of electoral wins—frame a contest seen as a test of progressives’ momentum in a swing-leaning state ahead of Tuesday’s vote.
