Flanagan Surges to Senate | Minneapolis News
Description
Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan has won a historic primary victory over Rep. Angie Craig, securing 59% of the vote in a race that mirrors a national wave of progressive momentum. Her campaign’s laser focus on opposing Donald Trump energized the Democratic base, while Craig’s controversial vote for the Laken Riley Act—later regretted by Craig herself—became a rallying point for voters frustrated with ICE policies. Flanagan’s deep political roots helped her avoid alienating moderates, unlike some other progressive challengers who fell short. With Craig now endorsing her, Minnesota’s Democratic Party is poised for a bold new chapter as Flanagan heads to the Senate.
