Well, it's officially official. The challenger looking to take over the governor's mansion from Tim Walz has made his official announcement.

Yes, the rumors are true, Mike Lindell of MyPillow fame is officially running for governor in Minnesota against Tim Walz.

Here's Lindell's campaign announcement video:

Hey, they elected Jesse Ventura, so Mike Lindell isn't much of a stretch.

Here's how NBC News covered the announcement:

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a longtime backer of President Donald Trump who spread debunked conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election, announced Thursday that he'll run for governor in Minnesota next year.

'Those who know me know I'm up to the task,' Lindell said during a speech delivered on his eponymous platform Thursday morning.

"Debunked" election conspiracies or not, Lindell is completely serious about saving his state from the likes of Walz, Frey, Fateh, and Ilhan Omar.

Well, if Lindell is elected, maybe Minnesotans will be able to finally get a good night's sleep again!
