At 06:00 CET, Lisa Demuth led Amy Klobuchar in the Minnesota governor's race by 32,901 votes, 50.4 to 47.8 percent with 42.6 percent of the expected vote counted, according to NBC News, based on AP data. No winner has been called. The result is a first either way: the winner will be Minnesota's first female governor. Tim Walz withdrew from the race in January, Senator Amy Klobuchar stepped in, and Republicans have not won the governorship since 2006. In the Senate race, Michele Tafoya leads Peggy Flanagan 51.3 to 45.8 percent with 44 percent counted. For crypto, the state stands out for one name: Representative Tom Emmer, who drew more direct support from crypto and AI companies than any other Minnesota candidate.
