Mike Lindell

Mike Lindell is the founder and CEO of MyPillow, Inc., and a prominent supporter of former U.S. President Donald Trump. He is known for promoting conspiracy theories related to the 2020 United States presidential election, falsely claiming widespread voter fraud. Lindell is newsworthy because he recently announced his candidacy for governor of Minnesota. This announcement places him in a crowded Republican primary field in a state that leans Democratic. His campaign is significant due to his high profile, financial resources, and close association with Trump, which could influence the dynamics of the Minnesota gubernatorial race and the broader political landscape.
