(The Center Square) – Longtime former NFL reporter Michele Tafoya secured the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Minnesota, multiple media organizations reported less than hour after the polls closed. With 15% of the vote counted, Tafoya held 50.6% as of 8:50 p.m. central time. Peggy Flanagan, lieutenant governor under Gov. Tim Walz, led the Democratic primary over Rep. Angie Craig. Flanagan had 51.9% of the vote with 12% of votes counted. Flanagan, the more progressive candidate in the primary, has criticized Craig’s vote for the Laken Riley Act, legislation requiring the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to detain undocumented individuals who have been arrested, charged or convicted of crimes. “Voting three days into the second Trump administration for Donald Trump’s immigration bill that allowed him to terrorize our communities, the loss of life, the economic impact, the trauma — it’s horrific,” Flanagan said in a debate. Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mas., and Tina Smith, D-Minn., who currently holds the seat, have endorsed Flanagan. Notably, President Donald Trump did not endorse a candidate in Minnesota's U.S. Senate race. Tafoya, a former sideline reporter for 11 years for NBC's Sunday Night Football, has focused her campaign on fighting fraud in Minnesota, which has gained national attention over the past several months. She supported the Deporting Fraudsters Act, legislation that would immediately deport a noncitizen convicted of fraud in federal programs. “Michele will fight for tough new mandatory minimum sentences that put fraudsters in federal prison and keep them there,” Tafoya’s website reads. She also supported pulling federal funds from states that do not implement anti-fraud controls. Tafoya leads Flanagan with more than $1.3 million in cash on hand, according to the Federal Election Commission. Flanagan has slighlty more than $1 million in cash on hand. Tafoya has received $10,000 from the Jobs Opportunity Now PAC and $2,500 from the Salem Media Group PAC. Flanagan received $2,500 from the Dirt Road Democrats PAC; $4,000 from Shannon Finley, a lobbyist at Capitol Counsel LLC; and $3,500 from the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation in California.

(The Center Square) - Republican Tom Tiffany was declared the winner of his primary for Wisconsin governor in the minutes after polls closed but who he will face in the Nov. 3 general election is far more uncertain. State Rep. Francesca Hong and Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley are the frontrunners with state Sen. Kelda Roys and former Dept. of Administration Secretary Joel Brennan also in the race. Michael Alfonso was projected as the winner of the Republican 7th Congressional nomination to take over Tiffany's seat, defeating veteran Kevin Hermening and Ashley Furniture Executive Jessi Ebben. Alfonso, the 26-year-old son-in-law of U.S. Dept. of Transporation Secretary Sean Duffy, will face one of Ginger Murray, Fred Clark and Chris Armstrong from the Democratic side in November's general election. Tiffany held nearly 96% of the early votes while opponent Andy Manske had less than 4%. "I want to thank Wisconsinites across our state for putting their trust in me,” Tiffany said in a statement. “This fight is bigger than any one party. It’s bigger than any one candidate. This fight is about Wisconsin and protecting the state we know and love. It’s about lowering property taxes, returning the surplus to you, getting utility costs under control, and letting hardworking Wisconsinites keep more of what they earn. Let’s move Wisconsin forward, together." Ebben congratulated Alfonso on his victory. “While tonight’s outcome was not the one we wanted, I will remain committed to defending the conservative values I campaigned on," Ebben said in a statement. "That means working to stop the rise of socialism and defeating the Democrats running for office in Wisconsin. It’s time for conservatives to unite behind Michael Alfonso for our next representative in Congress and support Republican nominees up and down the ballot.”

(The Center Square) – U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., notched her party's nomination in the race to replace Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Tuesday. Klobuchar's Republican competitor is yet to be determined at the time of publication. Multiple media organizations called the Democratic primary for Klobuchar shortly before 8:30 p.m. central time. She had 90% of the vote with 11% counted. Klobuchar joined the race after Walz dropped out in January after intense scrutiny following reports of fraud in federal benefit programs across the state. She has spent her campaign distancing herself from Walz’ policies. Klobuchar announced significant anti-fraud efforts and said she would conduct “top-to-bottom” inspections of federal programs in Minnesota. “We want to make sure we’re taking care of the taxpayers’ money, that we are spending that money wisely on things that people need and making things as efficient as possible,” Klobuchar said. Minnesota Speaker of the House Lisa Demuth led the Republican ticket with 46.3% over former MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump, with 30.8% of the vote with 11% counted. Demuth also campaigned on cracking down on fraud in Minnesota. Her fraud plan would designate Ryan Wilson, her lieutenant governor, to head oversight of spending in the state’s executive agencies as his main priority. Demuth also proposed centralizing all services in a single, state-run agency to enhance coordination and collaboration between federal and state partners. “Eligibility determination is a burden that we put on our counties that often ends up as an unfunded mandate,” Demuth said. “We can achieve cost savings through centralization and modernization with better compliance and oversight.” She also promised to sign a bill that would create an Office of the Inspector General in Minnesota to oversee federal agencies and welfare programs. Similarly to Klobuchar, Demuth said she would increase the number of unannounced inspections where federal funds are received. Mike Lindell, who stepped down from his position as CEO of MyPillow to run for governor, has also called for independent audits of state agencies and businesses that receive federal funds. Lindell has touted his record as a successful businessman and promised greater economic returns for the people of Minnesota. If elected, he would push for expanded trade and technical skills education to support the growing workforce. Trump endorsed Lindell in the race for governor. He said the former CEO would support his immigration agenda and fight for election security, two flashpoint issues of Trump’s administration. If elected, Klobuchar said she would create a database that blacklists individuals found guilty of fraud from receiving federal funds in other programs. She also said her administration would require more in person visits to businesses receiving federal funds. “When it comes to running our state, I believe we need discipline, growth and accountability,” Klobuchar said. Klobuchar is running alongside Ben Schierer, a businessman and the former mayor of Fergus Falls. Lindell is running alongside Phillip Parish, a former Republican candidate for governor who dropped out to run with Lindell. Klobuchar has a massive fundraising advantage over Lindell with more than $7 million raised since she announced her candidacy in January. Demuth trailed behind with $400,000, according to the Minnesota Secretary of State’s office. Lindell trailed behind with $352,000, according to the Minnesota Secretary of State’s office.

Civility politics is being weaponised to shut down genuine debate while allowing misinformation and powerful vested interests to maintain their influence, argues the Australia Institute’s chief political analyst Amy Remeikis. At a launch for her new book, Screw Nice, the Canberra-based journalist said the demand for people to be ‘nice’ has led to ‘civility’ being prioritised over actual substance.
