MyPillow founder Mike Lindell is refusing to concede in Minnesota's Republican gubernatorial primary, alleging irregularities in the vote totals.
The businessman, who is backed by President Trump, lost to Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth (R) by roughly 11 percentage points, according to Decision Desk HQ.
When asked by a reporter on his live network, LindellTV, about whether he would concede the race if The ****** ociated Press called it for his opponent, the GOP candidate responded, "Why would I listen to the AP?"
"There's 265,000 votes left to count. I'm down by 18,000 now," he continued. "I'm not going to give up this race until the votes are counted. That's nonsense."
Lindell, who stepped down as My Pillow CEO to focus on his campaign, has a history of casting doubt on election results and has been a leading supporter of Trump's unsubstantiated claim that the 2020 presidential election was "stolen."
