Peggy Flanagan's Chances Against Angie Craig: Final Minnesota Primary Polls
Progressives are rallying behind Flanagan in the Minnesota primary, but Craig has establishment support.
Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan and Representative Angie Craig are locked in a tight battle for the Democratic nomination to represent Minnesota in the Senate. Flanagan is seen as the progressive candidate, while Craig is considered more moderate. Both candidates have strong backing from different factions of the Democratic Party.
The race is seen as a crucial test for progressive Democrats after recent victories in other states. Minnesota, not overwhelmingly Democratic, raises questions about electability. Flanagan's supporters argue she represents a more progressive vision, while Craig's supporters highlight her success in flipping a Trump district. However, Craig's past vote on immigration is a concern.
Recent polls show a very close race, with Craig leading by a small margin in one poll and Flanagan leading by a larger margin in another. The outcome will likely hinge on factors like turnout, money, and organization, as well as the age demographics of the voter base.
