Trump’s Minnesota House Picks Sweep GOP Primaries — All Four Win

All four Republican candidates endorsed by President Donald Trump in Minnesota’s U.S. House primaries won their races Tuesday night, advancing to the November general elections.

The clean sweep hands Trump a major victory heading into the fall campaign — and sends a clear signal that his endorsement still dominates GOP primary contests.

“CLEAN SWEEP IN MINNESOTA” — Libs of TikTok celebrated the results on X.

District 1: Brad Finstad crushes primary field with 90% of the vote

Incumbent Representative Brad Finstad secured 90% of the vote — 50,483 ballots — defeating contractor Gregory A. Goetzman (5.2%) and small businessman Oliver R. Morlan (under 5%), according to the Associated Press with 99% of votes counted.

Trump called Finstad “fantastic” in a November Truth Social post, praising his work to grow the economy, cut taxes, promote U.S. manufacturing, secure elections, keep the border secure, and protect the Second Amendment.

“A Fourth Generation Family Farmer, and Member of the House Agriculture Committee, Brad is a strong and effective voice for our amazing Farmers and Ranchers,” Trump said.

Finstad championed H.R. 1, the Working Families Tax Cuts, which locked in $1.2 trillion in savings for American taxpayers by making many of Trump’s 2017 tax cuts permanent.

He’ll face Democrat Jake Johnson, a high school math teacher who won his primary with 81.7% of the vote. Johnson’s platform: ending tariffs, expanding childcare, reversing Medicaid and SNAP cuts, and raising taxes on the wealthy.

District 6: Tom Emmer secures 80.9% as Majority Whip cruises to victory

Incumbent Representative Tom Emmer locked up the GOP nomination with 80.9% of the vote, trouncing engineer and Iraq Marine Corps veteran Mike Foley (15.3%) and entrepreneur Chris Corey (3.8%).

Trump hailed Emmer as an “America First Patriot” and a “fantastic Champion” in November.

“As the Majority Whip of the U.S. House of Representatives, Tom is doing a tremendous job advancing our America First Agenda,” the president said.

Emmer helped pass H.R. 1 and earned endorsements from Americans for Tax Reform, Concerned Women for America, CatholicVote, Faith & Freedom Coalition, Heritage Action for America, the NRA, Students for Life Action, and Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America.

He’ll face former attorney Doug Chapin, who ran unopposed in the Democrat primary. Chapin opposes H.R. 1’s tax cuts, supports “Medicare for All,” and vows to impeach HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He also pledged to “dismantle ICE” and end its “reign of terror — and literally, death.”

District 7: Michelle Fischbach runs uncontested, advances to November

Incumbent Representative Michelle Fischbach claimed the GOP nomination for Minnesota’s 7th District, running uncontested in the primary.

Trump wrote in November, “A Proven Leader, Michelle served as the Highly Respected President of the Minnesota Senate, and Lieutenant Governor, prior to becoming a very distinguished U.S. Congresswoman.”

Fischbach serves on the House Committee on Ways & Means, the House Committee on Rules, and co-chairs the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus. She’s also a member of the Congressional Western Caucus, Northern Border Caucus, and Congressional Biofuels Caucus.

Small-business owner Erik Osberg won the Democrat primary with 65.7%, defeating Steve Carlson’s 34.3%. Osberg’s platform: restoring Affordable Care Act subsidies, lowering Medicare eligibility to 55, and opposing state-level restrictions on medical procedures following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade.

District 8: Pete Stauber takes 86.5% in mining-focused race

Incumbent Representative Pete Stauber secured the GOP nomination with 86.5% of the vote compared to hobby farmer Anthony Hamilton’s 13.6%, per the AP.

Trump posted to Truth Social in November, “A Former Police Officer and Professional Hockey Player, Pete is a WINNER who strongly supports our incredible Law Enforcement, Military, and Veterans, and knows the Wisdom and Courage required to ensure LAW AND ORDER!”

Stauber chairs the House Natural Resources Committee’s Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources and has made critical minerals a signature issue. He’s fought to remove federal restrictions on the Twin Metals copper-nickel mine near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

He’ll face retired international operations director Trina Swanson, who won the Democrat primary with 77.2%. Swanson supports “mining that works for Minnesota” — but opposes Stauber’s Boundary Waters plan. She also backs secure borders as part of her immigration platform.

Trump’s endorsement record in Minnesota primaries: 4 for 4.
