Republican Senate candidate Royce White talks during an interview with The Associated Press in Minneapolis, Thursday, July 18, 2024. MINNEAPOLIS — When longtime Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon surrendered at a federal prison in Connecticut, he asked an unconventional U.S. Senate candidate from Minnesota to stand at his side.
But his surprise success in a state that has a history of electing unconventional candidates — like wrestler Jesse Ventura as governor and comedian Al Franken as senator — has made the race anything but the sleepy affair it was expected to be. His targets include the Federal Reserve, which he says is run by “Jewish elites,” as well as the national debt, the border, LGBTQ+ activists, the mainstream media and his critics. He argues that, as a Black man, he can help broaden the party’s base by appealing to voters of color in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and others who are disillusioned with establishment politics.
White denies any improper spending. In a filing last month, he reported he had reimbursed his campaign for “non-authorized expenses,” including the strip club visit. He tweeted that he loved the food there. He acknowledged that he owes child support. Klobuchar spokesperson Ben Hill didn’t mention her challengers in touting the senator’s legislative accomplishments on forcing drug companies to negotiate prices for medicines and winning help for military veterans. “Senator Klobuchar is focused on her job in the Senate and delivering results for Minnesotans,” Hill said in an email.
