If you don’t support destroying the 2nd Amendment, post-birth abortion, or mutilating children, the modern Democratic Party will not elect you. While MN Dems use the false “Democratic Farmer Labor” label, there is nothing about the Democrats that represents farmers, laborers, or even democracy in the slightest. Instead, MN Dems have become captured by the far-left and is groveling for their votes.

Minnesota’s open U.S. Senate election will lead the 2026 general election ballot and will determine who succeeds useless swamp-creature Tina Smith. In total, 10 individuals have filed to run with six Republicans, three Democrats, and one Independent. Republicans have not won a U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota since Norm Coleman’s 2002 victory, highlighting that this seat is likely, but not surely, to go blue.

While Democrats have moved their far-left agenda forward under the guise of flannel-wearing moderates, Minnesotans have caught onto their deceptive game. Trump won over 1.5M votes in MN and Democrats are becoming more and more unpopular in the state. Due to surrounding circumstances, the 2026 election may provide Republicans an opportunity to win.

Democrats have two main contenders for the Senate seat: Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan and CD2 Congresswoman Angie Craig. Another Democrat, Billy Nord, has also filed to run.

Flanagan gained national infamy while wearing a “Protect Trans Kids” t-shirt that also featured a knife on it. The implication of such a shirt is that violence will occur unless you acquiesce to transgender nonsense. Flanagan is as far left on the transgender issue as one can get, she supports the mutilation and sterilization of children at any age. In fact, Flanagan thinks you are not a good parent if you don’t feed into these delusions! Despite being Walz' chosen #2 for the last two terms, Walz is refusing to endorse in this race and will have to find a new running mate, proving there may be bad blood between the two behind the scenes. See shirt and other pictures below:

On the other side, Angie Craig is propped up as the lesbian Amy Klobuchar who can appeal to moderates and independents. However, Craig has gone just as far left as Flanagan on this issue! Craig called the Protect Women’s Sports Act “transphobic” and “discrimination”, proving she will do nothing to keep boys/men out of girls/womens locker rooms and sports. As a lesbian, one would think Craig would know what a woman is but she appears to be as clueless on the question as Tim Walz!

Craig is now toting the endorsement of her colleague, transgender Delaware Congressman “Sarah” McBride. In the following video, McBride calls Angie Craig a “fighter”, “principled leader”, and says Craig “knows what it takes to get things done”. McBride also follows up praising Craig’s electability in what may be a subtle dig at Flanagan. See below:

I’m honored to have the support of my friend and colleague, Rep. Sarah McBride, to be the next U.S. Senator from Minnesota. https://t.co/lISclwonBk

Angie Craig also has the endorsements of the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund, LPAC (a lesbian super pac), the congressional Equality PAC, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, Dean Phillips, three U.S. Senators, many state legislators like drunk driver Dan Wolgamott (14B), many party officers (conflict of interest?), transgender Minneapolis councilman Andrea Jenkins, and even the pro-Israel political action committee AIPAC (which will likely receive left-wing, pro-Palestine criticism). Craig has also previously praised Israel for their leftist LGBTQ+ policies. See all Angie Craig endorsements here.

While indications point to Craig having a stronger campaign, Flanagan has positioned herself to the left of Craig (despite very little separating the two ideologically) and has more momentum building than anticipated by many political observers. Flanagan has the endorsements Elizabeth Warren, Al Franken, Keith Ellison, Julie Blaha, Melvin Carter, and many state legislators including several members of the “Queer Caucus” like self-described gay/they drunk driver Brion Curran (36B), 2 spirit Liish Kozlowski (8B), and transgender “Leigh” Finke (66A). Flanagan and Finke have also made "pride" parades a major campaign stop in this race. See all Flanagan endorsements here.

MN Democrats have the choice, do they stand with Finke or do they stand with McBride? Either way, we end up with the same woke BS!

Contrary to logic, GQR polling shows Flanagan is a stronger general election candidate than Craig. Public Policy Polling also released the following poll in February of this year showing Flanagan with a 30% lead over Craig. See below:

Not so long ago, there were pro-life, blue-dog Democrats in MN like Steve Wenzel elected to office but that era is long gone. Democrats now do not want anyone in their party who does not support the woke remaking of society. It would’ve been a smear to say Democrats wanted to mutilate children, now it is a key plank of their platform. As Craig and Flanagan compete for the ultra-woke, far-left, Communist base, Republicans have the opportunity to highlight just how radical the Democratic agenda is and even pull off a win. A4L will continue to keep Patriots up to date with the latest.
