As Minnesota’s two major U.S. Senate candidates offer different starting points for the federal budget, they spell out some of their major differences.
The Democrats show an exceptionally valuable ability to get along and negotiate with Republicans.
U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and challenger, Minnesota Rep. Kurt Bills, R-Rosemount, agree on the need to fix a dysfunctional Congress. The two participated in a candidate forum Tuesday at the Duluth Playhouse sponsored by the News Tribune editorial board and the Duluth Chamber of Commerce.
Amy Klobuchar and Kurt Bills shared broad smiles and agreed it was hot. But then the two U.S. Senate candidates took to a Minnesota State Fair stage Thursday in what proved to be a feisty debate during which they agreed on little.
U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar has picked up the support of a police group that backed her opponent six years ago. The Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police endorsed Klobuchar for re-election Tuesday.
Two people are vying to be the Independence Party candidate for U.S. Senate in the fall, but its chairman said Wednesday that Minnesota’s third major party is focused on legislative races this year and neither candidate should expect help.
U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar stood in front of 1,100 mostly liberal Democrats concerned if she talked too much about working with Republicans. “I was wondering how this is going to go over,” she said in an interview after Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Laborites unanimously endorsed her for a second six-year Senate term.
