## Key points

- Flanagan touted bipartisan experience but named no issue for working with Trump.
- She says voters want a check on the president.
- Republican Michele Tafoya has narrowed the gap in Minnesota.

## Summary

Minnesota Democratic Senate nominee Peggy Flanagan highlighted her record of bipartisan work but, when asked about working with President Donald Trump, did not identify a policy area for cooperation. She said she was concerned about what she called continued self-enrichment by the administration and argued that voters want a senator who will act as a check on Trump.

Flanagan cited work in the Minnesota Legislature alongside a Republican majority and at the Children’s Defense Fund–Minnesota. Her campaign supports measures including Medicare for All and dismantling ICE, and she has criticised cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. She is running against Republican Michele Tafoya, whose campaign has linked Flanagan to a fraud scandal under Governor Tim Walz; the race rating shifted from “Likely Democrat” to “Lean Democrat” as Tafoya narrowed the gap.
