Can Michele Tafoya Win the GOP a Minnesota Senate Seat?

Tafoya is betting Minnesota's fraud scandal and independent-leaning voters can flip a Senate seat Republicans haven't won in 24 years.

• Fraud scandal central: Tafoya says Minnesota lost hundreds of millions to billions (estimates up to $18B) in pandemic-program fraud, turning an $18B surplus into a $7B deficit.
• Accountability push: She wants mandatory deportation for noncitizen fraudsters, mandatory prison minimums for citizen fraud, and federal fiscal guardrails/clawbacks before states get funding.
