Lindell backed off his immigration proposal, aligning with federal policy while attacking employers hiring undocumented workers; Qualls blamed current administration mismanagement for straining state services. Both candidates viciously attacked Governor Walz over fraud scandals, with Lindell calling for jail time and Qualls labeling it a national embarrassment—and even pinned blame on Senator Amy Klobuchar. As the race tightens, their showdown revealed sharp divides but also surprising common ground: both want a governor who’s outside the political norm and laser-focused on business-driven results.
