The Democratic Senate primary in Minnesota is heating up and immigration has become a central issue. Tuesday's election is between Angie Craig, a congresswoman, and Peggy Flanagan, the state's lieutenant governor. Craig once voted for tighter immigration enforcement but has expressed regret for that decision. Flanagan has criticized Craig for not standing firmly against the Trump administration. Craig has a history of winning tough races and emphasizes her ability to connect with diverse voters. Flanagan is backed by progressive voters and has focused on grassroots funding and policies such as Medicare for All. Both candidates are vying for support in a divided Democratic Party.
