Longtime Trump hater, RINO Senator Eric Pratt (SD54), has recently fallen under the national microscope with a potential Congressional campaign in CD2. This consideration has caused Pratt to be called out on the carpet by the MAGA hound dogs including Laura Loomer.

Laura Loomer is a former Congressional candidate in Florida, an outspoken defender of President Trump, host of Loomer Unleashed, and known for her takedowns of crooked politicians. In a recent post on X, Loomer posted a video of Eric Pratt saying that he has never endorsed Trump and wasn’t sure who he would vote for in the Presidential election. Click here or the image below:

A4L President Erik Mortensen had the following reply:

If Laura Loomer will call out MN RINOs selling out the America First movement, she would be in good company with pro-grassroots liberty conservatives at A4L! Loomer was also critical of Globalist RINO Tom Emmer during his short-lived Speaker bid, including calling Emmer a “communist enabler” for his previous lobbying work to destroy the Electoral College and install a national popular vote. Loomer’s attacks against Emmer were even re-truthed on Truth Social by President Trump on 10/23/25. See below:

With fake moderate Angie Craig running for the U.S. Senate, MN’s CD2 election could prove to be extremely competitive. As noted by Mortesensen, Eric Pratt is not well liked by CD2 grassroots conservatives and would likely be easily rejected by GOP delegates. Keep in mind, Pratt lost the GOP endorsement to nurse Natalie Barnes in 2022 and just barely won the primary after corrupt RINO party chair David Hann cut off data access to 5 GOP endorsed candidates (Natalie being included). Pratt also has a pathetic, FAILING 25% lifetime score in A4L scorecards.

2020 and 2022 CD2 GOP nominee, U.S. Marine Corps Reserve officer Tyler Kistner, has already announced his bid for the 2026 election. In 2022, Kistner fought the establishment by endorsing then-Rep. Erik Mortensen in the GOP primary against RINO Bob Loonan. As a familiar face, Kistner would likely be a natural choice for many GOP delegates at the CD2 endorsing convention.

As seen in 2024, Emmer puppet Joe Teirab was defeated by Angie Craig by over 13% since he failed to unify grassroots conservatives around his campaign. After carpetbagging from the DC swamp to MN’s CD2, Teirab was demolished at the CD2 GOP endorsing convention and only won the primary because Emmer got Teirab’s opponent, Tayler Rahm, to quit the race! Even when Teirab was the only Republican in the race, the CD2 GOP refused to endorse him. 

As we’ve previously reported, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Exec. Director says candidates cannot just be installed without grassroots approval. In necessary swing districts for Republicans, the grassroots needs to be on board and if they are not, the candidate will fail.

Carpetbagger Joe Teirab, quitter Tayler Rahm, and Loomered RINO Eric Pratt all did not rule out a run for Congress in CD2 when asked by the Star Tribune. On the Democrat side, Senator Matt Klein (SD53) and former Senator Matt Little (SD58) are running. Another Democrat, Michael Stefanko, also filed with the FEC and spent $755.35 on studio and camera rental but seemingly withdrew from the race and filed a termination report on 6/4/25 which was approved on 6/10/25.
