Episode Details

Minnesota Democrats are locked in a fiery Senate primary battle between Rep. Angie Craig and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, with immigration policy at the heart of the feud. Flanagan is hammering Craig over a controversial 2023 vote that tightened immigration enforcement — a move Craig now regrets after federal agents were deployed to Minneapolis, sparking protests and tragedy. While Craig defends her record as broadly aligned with Democratic values and highlights her ability to win across rural and urban voters, Flanagan paints herself as the true progressive, rallying grassroots donors and criticizing Craig’s delayed remorse. The race also pits pragmatism against bold reform, with big money pouring in from both sides — and the winner could shape the future direction of Minnesota’s Democratic Party.
