Trump Endorses MyPillow Founder as Minnesota Governor Candidate, Raising Party Concerns The Minnesota Republican Party is facing a crisis after former President Donald Trump endorsed Mike Lindell, the founder of MyPillow, as its nominee for governor.
The party's chairman, Alex Plechash, has distanced himself from Trump's pick, citing concerns about Lindell's lack of experience and questionable electability.
Lindell has built his reputation on spreading unfounded conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and has been sued by voting machine companies for defamation.
