Minnesota Democrats vote Tuesday, August 11, 2026, in a U.S. Senate primary that is widely seen as a two-woman race between U.S. Representative Angie Craig and Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan, with four other candidates considered longshots. The winner advances to face Republican Michele Tafoya in the general election, and coverage this week has focused on the candidates' differing paths to the nomination and policy priorities.

  • Minnesota's DFL Senate primary, held Tuesday, August 11, 2026, is effectively a two-candidate race between Rep. Angie Craig and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan among six total candidates.
  • Craig skipped the party's convention endorsement process citing turnout concerns, while Flanagan secured the DFL endorsement and backing from Sen. Tina Smith.
  • The primary winner is expected to face Republican Michele Tafoya in the November general election.
  • Coverage frames the Craig-Flanagan policy differences as rooted in broader ideological divides rather than a single defining issue.
