- Lindell is currently registered to vote in Texas but plans to register in Minnesota on Election Day, as allowed by state law.
- He has faced multiple defamation lawsuits related to his unfounded claims about the 2020 election being rigged, resulting in significant legal fees and financial difficulties, including unpaid property taxes.
- Minnesota has not elected a Republican governor in 20 years, and Lindell faces competition in the Republican primary from Kendall Qualls and Lisa Demuth, while Democrat Amy Klobuchar is a leading candidate in the general election.
