MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is reportedly considering a 2026 gubernatorial run in Minnesota, setting up a potential challenge against incumbent Democratic Governor Tim Walz.
Lindell, a vocal Trump ally and prominent figure in conservative politics, has previously hinted at ambitions for public office. If he moves forward with a campaign, it would likely be centered around his staunch support for election integrity, conservative values, and opposition to Walz’s policies.
While no official announcement has been made, Lindell says he is weighing his options and will make a big announcement. His candidacy would likely energize the Republican base, though it remains to be seen whether he could secure broad support in Democratic-leaning Minnesota.
Governor Tim Walz, who won reelection in 2022, has not commented on the potential challenge, but the 2026 race is already shaping up to be a heated political battle.
