Amy Klobuchar has won the Minnesota Senate race.

Democrat Klobuchar faced off against Republican challenger Royce White in the race for Minnesota’s Senate seat.

Being initially elected in 2006, Klobuchar was the first woman elected to represent the State of Minnesota in the U.S. Senate. She is now running for a fourth term. Klobuchar frequently cited her support for bipartisan legislation when arguing for a second six-year term.

“When the pharmaceutical companies got this sweetheart deal with Medicare, I came in and introduced a bill that is now the law of the land that says, ‘No, you’ve got to negotiate prices,’ and we’re starting to see the $35 cap on insulin,” Klobuchar stated. “When our veterans came to me and said, ‘Hey, people are dying because they were stationed next to burn pits.’ I did something about it.”

Her campaign website maintains that she spearheaded the movement to enact laws to tackle the fentanyl and opioid crisis and to stop human trafficking.

She purportedly pushed mobile phone companies to implement more customer-friendly rules and battled to pass the most important consumer product safety laws in a generation, which prevented foreign harmful products from entering our country and from being sold in our stores.

Klobuchar’s consumer protection initiatives have also led to the biggest airbag and furniture recalls in American history, it continued.

“He [Royce White] says vulgar things nearly every single day, on his Twitter feed, in his podcast, every single day, insulting people,” she added. “That’s his job. I think a senator is a different kind of job. I think you actually have to listen to people and get things done.”

Her opponent, White, is a former professional basketball player who now hosts a podcast.

White is also a frequent guest on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast.

“I am committed to growing the base, bringing disenfranchised Democrats into the tent, and unifying all conservatives in Minnesota,” he previously wrote on social media.

During a previous basketball game, the athlete-turned-candidate wrote “Alex Jones was right” on his shaved head.

White says that his critics are in a “white liberal ivory tower,” and he argues that the condemnation towards him is due to having conservative values as a Black man.

Politically, White has also maintained that the “status quo” in Washington, D.C. needs to change in order to better benefit the American people.

“Our country is coming undone at the seams, and I think we can change that, but it’s going to require some truth,” White said. “If there’s one thing I’m proud of, despite the mainstream media’s attempts to silence, suppress, smear my campaign, the feedback that we have gotten from those who support and follow me and or the campaign or the movement nationally, they say that they appreciate that I speak the truth.”

According to his website, White says that Klobuchar is a person who takes orders from corrupt powers who wage wars that the U.S. is forced to finance. Yet, Klobuchar argues that the U.S. involves itself in international conflicts out of necessity.

“Regardless of our individual backgrounds or beliefs, our nation is being held hostage by corrupt individuals who aim to manipulate the truth, exploit our children, subjugate us through crises and pharmaceuticals, and sow discord to keep us divided,” White added.

While he was not endorsed by 45^th President Donald J. Trump, he was endorsed by U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), GOP candidate for Arizona’s Senate seat Kari Lake, and by the CEO of MyPillow Mike Lindell, a known Trump supporter.
