Minnesota Primary Results: GOP and DFL Nominees Projected
In Minnesota's primary elections, Michele Tafoya and Lisa Demuth are projected winners for the Senate and gubernatorial races, respectively.
CBS News projects that Michele Tafoya, a former television sports reporter, has secured the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota's primary election. Tafoya's candidacy has drawn attention as she aims to fill the seat of retiring Democratic Senator Tina Smith.
In the gubernatorial race, Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth is projected to defeat Mike Lindell for the Republican nomination. This race is particularly notable as Governor Tim Walz will also be stepping down, leaving an open seat for both parties.
On the Democratic side, Senator Amy Klobuchar is projected to win the Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) primary for governor. Klobuchar, considered the favorite, will compete against the Republican challenger in the upcoming November election.
