President Donald Trump has endorsed MyPillow founder Mike Lindell for Minnesota governor, praising him as "one of America's greatest and most hard working Patriots."
Lindell established his national profile from his TV advertising campaign as the MyPillow Guy and has been one of Trump's most outspoken supporters, echoing the Republican president's false claims his 2020 election defeat to Democrat Joe Biden was fraudulent.
Trump posted Wednesday online, "Mike will be SPECTACULAR!!!" Trump says Lindell "loves Minnesota" and "wants to bring it back from oblivion and embarrassment."
Trump has hammered outgoing Democratic Gov. Tim Walz as incompetent and accused his administration of allowing rampant fraud in federal spending on childcare, which Walz disputes.
