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.

Overall impact on this GOP contest looks limited.
