Trump backs MyPillow's Mike Lindell for Minnesota governor

President Donald Trump on Wednesday endorsed MyPillow founder Mike Lindell for Minnesota governor.

Lindell, a longtime ally of the president, formerly sought the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee (RNC), but lost out to Ronna McDaniel. He has been a leading proponent of Trump's claims that election fraud affected the outcome of the 2020 election.

"Mike Lindell, the 'Pillow Man,' and one of America’s greatest and most hard working Patriots, is running to be GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTA, replacing one of the worst and most incompetent governors in the history of the U.S.A. Early Primary Voting has begun and, if given the chance, Mike will be SPECTACULAR!!!" he posted on Truth Social.

"He truly loves Minnesota, as do I, and wants to bring it back from oblivion and embarrassment. He can do it! Nobody has sacrificed more than Mike Lindell in fighting for our country, especially when it comes to Election Integrity," he added. "He truly deserves everything he gets - He will MAKE MINNESOTA GREAT AGAIN!!! MIKE LINDELL HAS MY COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT - HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN. Good Luck Mike!!!"

Lindell's MyPillows are regularly featured in commercials on conservative media. Lindell is also a prominent commentator in right-wing circles and has established LindellTV, a right-wing political news organization.
