Minnesota Republican Senate nominee Michele Tafoya highlighted a poll showing her one point behind Democratic Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan. Tafoya called the race a toss-up and argued voters were rejecting Democratic leadership in Minnesota. She pointed to fraud, crime, and declining test scores while making her case for political change.
Fox News discussed the Insider Advantage poll during an interview with Tafoya about the Minnesota Senate race. The network said the result placed Tafoya within one point of Flanagan. Host Sean Hannity then asked why the contest had become competitive.
Tafoya answered that voters were “tired of crazy” and framed the race as “common sense versus crazy.” She described Flanagan as a career politician who had received a government paycheck for 20 years. She also blamed Flanagan’s tenure for what she called historic fraud, rising crime and declining test scores.
From there, Tafoya argued that voters were concluding the current approach had failed. She said Minnesota could not keep electing the same people while expecting different results. Finally, she said her campaign was “thrilled” to be competing in what she described as a toss-up.
Michele Tafoya Supporters Raise Voter Fraud Concerns in Minnesota Senate Race
Online responses split between supporters worried about election integrity and critics dismissing Tafoya’s prospects.
One supporter wrote, “if it weren’t for the election fraud in our state, you’d win in a landslide.” Another added, “I pray that the dems in Minnesota aren’t able to cheat you out of a win.”
A separate response questioned, “Michele you’re probably ahead but how are you going to beat the cheat?” Another warned, “You will lose due to voter fraud. They will find the votes in Hennipen. Communist aren’t giving up MN.”
Other users rejected that outlook. One stated, “You will Lose by double digits. MAGA has no place in Minnesota.” Another wrote, “It’s not within 10 points. Keep lying to yourself.”
The contest remains unresolved ahead of November. Questions about election integrity remain part of the campaign discussion.
