GOP Finds Its Next Progressive Target in Minnesota

“Republicans have a new name on their growing list of progressive midterm targets: Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, fresh off a landslide Senate primary win,” Axios reports.

“With President Trump’s approval ratings in the 30s, Republicans are trying to turn the midterms from a referendum on him into a choice between the GOP and a Democratic Party they argue has moved sharply to the left.”

“That means portraying some progressive Democrats who’ve won statewide primaries as national foils. The strategy came into focus last week, after Abdul El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan’s Senate primary.”
