Minnesota’s Attorney General Keith Ellison (DFL) held off his Republican challenger Jim Schultz to win reelection, winning by just one percentage point.
The Associated Press called the race for Ellison on Wednesday at 1:10 p.m. CST.
Schultz is known for his extreme anti-abortion beliefs, and he once sat on the board of a nonprofit that spread misinformation about abortion. Despite claiming to uphold current law in Minnesota, which protects abortion, Schultz has contradicted this by expressing his desire to “protect the unborn from Democratic extremists.” Schultz could also be facing the largest fine in Minnesota history for violating campaign finance laws after being accused of collaborating with an independent expenditure group.
Voters first elected Ellison as attorney general in 2018 and previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives from Minnesota’s 5th district from 2007-2019.
