Minnesota's Governor Race Narrowed as Robbins Withdraws

Minnesota Rep. Kristin Robbins suspended her gubernatorial campaign, stating she'll fight for Minnesota's future from the outside.
Robbins blamed the establishment, media, and donors for allegedly influencing Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
Her exit reduced the GOP field to seven candidates, with House Speaker Lisa Demuth, Kendall Qualls, and Pillow CEO Mike Lindell as frontrunners.
The race aims to replace DFL Gov. Tim Walz, who declined re-election amid scrutiny.
Amy Klobuchar is the leading Democratic candidate.
Robbins will serve as State Rep. until 2027, after which she'll advocate for Minnesota as a private citizen.
