Minnesota primary election

Minnesota and Wisconsin are set for primary elections on August 13, with various key races on the ballots. In Minnesota, incumbent Senator Amy Klobuchar faces four challengers, while eight Republicans are vying for their chance to run against her. Notably, the 5th Congressional District will see a rematch between Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and former City Council member Don Samuels. Voters will also be selecting candidates for state legislative seats, with significant implications for party control in Minnesota's Senate. Additionally, Minnesota's Secretary of State has issued warnings about election misinformation, citing recent cybersecurity threats and a new law criminalizing such deception. In Wisconsin, local races and statewide referendums will also be contested.
