President Donald Trump endorsed MyPillow founder Mike Lindell for Minnesota governor in a Truth Social post on Wednesday, calling him “one of America’s greatest and most hard working Patriots.” Lindell is running in a three-way Republican primary set for Aug. 11, with early primary voting already underway.
