Donald Trump endorsed MyPillow founder Mike Lindell for Minnesota governor. Trump praised Lindell as 'one of America's greatest and most hard working Patriots.' The endorsement came a day before a national address Trump says will focus on election security. Lindell faces a three-way Republican primary for the Minnesota governor's race.
Coverage across the center and right outlets is nearly identical, drawn from overlapping wire-style reporting, with little divergence in framing. Both describe Lindell as a 'fellow election denier,' a term used in both sets of coverage, and both note the timing relative to Trump's election security address. The right-leaning Washington Times additionally frames Lindell as a 'MAGA ally' in one headline, a term not present in the center coverage.
