Donald Trump backed Mike Lindell for "Minnesota Republican Governor nominee?"; Lindell is currently at 7%.
Lindell’s Republican nominee price fell from 17% to 11% intraday, and fresh reporting keeps him in the race but still behind the main consolidation story around Lisa Demuth. That matters because it suggests traders are still pricing Lindell as a volatile but secondary contender rather than a clear alternative to the frontrunners.
Lindell’s Minnesota GOP nominee price fell sharply intraday, and fresh reporting keeps the race centered on Lisa Demuth’s consolidation versus anti-establishment alternatives. That makes Lindell’s slide trader-relevant because it reinforces the market’s view that he remains a long-shot behind the top-tier contenders.

Klobuchar’s entry-style policy rollout may reinforce her as the main Democratic figure in the broader Minnesota governor conversation, but it does not directly change the Republican nomination market. Overall impact on this GOP contest looks limited.
