Summary
Hillary Clinton made her first 2026 U.S. Senate endorsement by backing Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan in the open-seat race.
Clinton cast Flanagan as a champion for children and families, while tying the contest to attacks on Donald Trump over tariffs, Iran and cuts to health care and food assistance.
Peggy Flanagan said she was honored to win Clinton’s support and pledged to carry that fight to the Senate if elected.
The endorsement lands in a matchup against Republican Michele Tafoya for the seat being vacated after Sen. Tina Smith said last year she would not seek re-election.
