Amy Klobuchar could be headed for the governor’s office but what happens to her Senate seat if she wins could be an even bigger story.

Kyle Shiely and political strategist Mike Norton dig into one of the biggest unanswered questions hanging over Minnesota politics: should Klobuchar tell voters who she would appoint to replace her before Election Day?

If Klobuchar picks wrong, could we see a repeat of the infamous 1978 “Minnesota Massacre” which cost the DFL control of the State?

They debate the risks of a surprise appointment, possible successors including Steve Simon, Thom Peterson and Kelly Morrison, and the one person Mike doesn't want to see named.

Then, Kyle and Mike break down Peggy Flanagan’s decisive primary victory over Angie Craig. Was it Flanagan’s energized ground game, Craig’s more moderate campaign, or a sign that Minnesota DFL voters are demanding a sharper progressive message?

Minnesota’s primary voters delivered a message on Tuesday — and now the battle for November begins.

Kyle Shiely is joined by political strategist Brian McDaniel to break down the biggest surprises from Minnesota’s primary election. On the Republican side, House Speaker Lisa Demuth defeated Mike Lindell, while Michelle Tafoya topped Royce White. Are these encouraging signs for a GOP party that hasn't won statewide in almost two decades?

But the biggest story may have come from Democrats, where Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan defeated 2nd District Congresswoman Angie Craig in a closely watched contest. Flanagan’s strength on the campaign trail and ability to connect directly with voters made the difference.

Plus we dig into what comes next: how Demuth can distinguish herself from Amy Klobuchar, why local issues could decide key races, and the challenge Republicans face trying to compete in a state where Democratic voters continue to turn out in force.

What did Minnesota voters tell us and what does it mean for November? Find out in this episode!

A political firestorm is erupting at St. Paul City Hall. Kyle Shiely and Axios Twin Cities reporter Kyle Stokes examine Police Chief Axel Henry’s explosive allegations that Mayor Kaohly Her fostered a sexualized work environment—and why the controversy is adding to growing questions about her leadership.

They also break down the fallout from Her’s decision to close the Pig’s Eye homeless encampment, including a tense, leaked recorded meeting with state lawmakers and stakeholders that exposed deep frustration, a dismissive tone and little room for negotiation.

Stokes recounts what he observed at the encampment during the closure and the growing concerns about what comes next for displaced residents facing limited shelter options and a long wait for permanent housing.
