Yahoo reported:
The state party’s decision to back White came at the Minnesota GOP convention in St. Paul’s RiverCentre on Saturday.
White, a former professional basketball player, was introduced on stage at the convention by former Trump adviser Steve Bannon.
White received 67% of the vote on the first ballot at Saturday’s convention to receive an endorsement from the party to challenge Klobuchar, who has represented Minnesota in the upper chamber for nearly two decades.
Thank you MNGOP and delegates for endorsing me as candidate in the 2024 Minnesota United States Senate race. I’m at a loss for words and that takes a lot… The People Are Coming!
