Angie Craig Secures Fourth Term in Minnesota's Tight 2nd District Race

Democrat Angie Craig defeats Republican Joe Teirab in a closely watched contest marked by debates over abortion and immigration.

Angie Craig, Minnesota's first openly gay member of Congress, has been re-elected to represent the 2nd Congressional District, a key swing district.
Craig's victory marks her fourth term in office, continuing her tenure since the 2018 'blue wave' election.
Her opponent, Joe Teirab, a Marine Corps veteran and former federal prosecutor, was endorsed by Donald Trump but failed to secure the district's GOP committee endorsement.
The campaign was heavily focused on issues such as abortion rights, immigration, and public safety, with Craig emphasizing her centrist positions.
Craig's re-election was confirmed by the Associated Press late on election night, solidifying her role in one of Minnesota's most competitive congressional races.
