My Pillow guy running for Minnesota governor

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says he's considering a run for Minnesota governor https://share.google/4IcKU9VKqGvhKyQTq

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a close ally of President Donald Trump who promoted debunked conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election, is considering running for governor in Minnesota.

Lindell told the Minnesota Star-Tribune in an interview published Friday that he's about "99% there" in making a decision about whether to launch a campaign for governor. Lindell also teased the idea of running for governor of the state in 2022 before ultimately deciding to stay out.
