Matt Little just crushed it in the DFL primary for Minnesota’s second congressional district, winning by double digits despite a politically split electorate that once voted for Trump. A former mayor and state senator running on a progressive platform, he tapped into voter frustration over soaring childcare, healthcare, and grocery costs — and even credited “Metro Surge” for boosting turnout. Covering everything from Woodbury to Burnsville and rich farmland, this seat has been Democratic since 2018 but was once Republican territory. Little’s Medicare for All stance stood out against GOP opponent Eric Pratt, who opposes it and warns of higher costs — even for farmers. With nearly 90K voters casting ballots in the DFL primary and Pratt pulling in about the same on the GOP side, the real battle begins: can Little turn primary supporters into November voters, and can Pratt rally enough Republicans to reclaim this swing seat?
