Michele Tafoya challenges Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota Senate race

Minnesota Senate race welfare fraud allegations Republican nominee Democratic candidate polling trends

Republican Senate candidate Michele Tafoya has criticized Democratic Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan regarding alleged welfare fraud in Minnesota. During an appearance on Fox News Sunday, Tafoya questioned the accountability of state funds, specifically citing instances in Hennepin County where a significant portion of funds intended for businesses affected by ICE raids were flagged for potential fraud.

Tafoya, a former NFL reporter, argued that the state has failed to hold individuals accountable for these discrepancies. The political contest is currently viewed as a toss-up; according to a Real Clear Politics poll, Flanagan holds a 1.8-point lead over Tafoya in the race for the vacant Senate seat.
