Lindell says he’s running for governor
SHAKOPEE (AP) — Mike Lindell, the fervent supporter of President Donald Trump known to TV viewers as the “MyPillow Guy,” says he’s running for governor in 2026. Lindell became close to Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign. He went on to become a leading amplifier of Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen. That led to a string of legal and financial setbacks for Lindell and his MyPillow company which he founded in Minnesota.
