Eyes will also be on Minnesota heading into November's presidential election as it has emerged as a target for Trump's campaign.
Minnesota Democrat Amy Klobuchar holds a double-digit lead over a pair of Republicans in her bid for a fourth term in the U.S. Senate.In a survey conducted by Minneapolis' KSTP TV and SurveyUSA, Klobuchar leads Republican-endorsed candidate Royce White 49 percent to 35 percent with 12 percent undecided. Joe Fraser, who is challenging White in a primary in August, trails Klobuchar 49 percent to 36 percent with 11 percent undecided.
White, who is 6-foot-8, has never held public office and ran unsuccessfully in a Republican primary two years ago seeking to challenge U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar. He was introduced at the GOP convention in St. Paul by Steve Bannon, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee.Fraser, a former naval intelligence officer, looked to be the clear favorite to challenge Klobuchar until White's entry into the fray last month.
