Lindell Steps Down as MyPillow CEO One Week Before Minnesota GOP Primary

Mike Lindell announced August 4 he is stepping down as MyPillow CEO to "devote 100% of my time and energy to my campaign for Governor of Minnesota." The Trump-endorsed Republican faces Minnesota's August 11 primary. Lindell carries documented financial liabilities from defamation settlements tied to his election-fraud advocacy, and a July 22 lawsuit alleges campaign finance violations over branded pillows.
