Mike Lindell, the MyPillow CEO and proud Trump ally, is under attack from the liberal media for remaining registered to vote in Texas as he launches his campaign for Minnesota governor, despite following all legal requirements.
Mike Lindell, the 65-year-old MyPillow chief executive and a true American patriot endorsed by President Donald Trump, is facing relentless media scrutiny for still being registered to vote in Texas while he campaigns for the Republican nomination for Minnesota governor. Records show Lindell last voted in Minnesota in 2022 and referred to himself as a “Texas citizen” in a court filing last year—actions that are entirely within his rights as he transitions his residency. Minnesota law requires gubernatorial candidates to have been residents for at least one year before the general election, and Lindell is taking all necessary steps to comply, planning to re-establish residency and register to vote in the state before casting his own ballot.
"one of America’s greatest and most hardworking Patriots," Trump wrote on Truth Social, offering his full support to Lindell in the face of establishment resistance.
The Minnesota Star Tribune reported that Lindell will re-establish residency if he formally enters the race, showing his commitment to the people of Minnesota. Early voting for the August 11 Republican primary is already underway. A recent Survey USA/KSTP poll placed Lindell in first place among Republican contenders with 27 percent support, ahead of House Speaker Lisa Demuth and businessman Kendall Qualls. However, a hypothetical general-election matchup earlier this month showed Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar leading the Trump-backed candidate by 17 points—a reflection of the uphill battle conservatives face against entrenched liberal interests.
Since announcing his campaign in December, Lindell has devoted a significant portion of his fundraising to promoting his inspirational book, "What Are the Odds? From Crack Addict to CEO," and has rightly called out the Minnesota Republican Party and local media for attempting to sideline his candidacy. Lindell’s determination in the face of establishment and media opposition exemplifies the spirit of the America First movement.
