Minneapolis attorney Chris Madel has announced his campaign for Minnesota governor, joining the Republican primary field. He joins other Republican candidates aiming to challenge incumbent Democratic Governor Tim Walz, who is seeking a third term.

Lindell, who is known for his proximity to US President Donald Trump, first became famous for featuring in television commercials of his pillow brand, which also earned him the ‘MyPillow Guy’ moniker.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz found himself back in the spotlight after denouncing President Donald Trump for calling him a slur in a social media post.

The already crowded race for Minnesota governor just got a little more cramped, as MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell took an important step to become a Republican candidate.
