Obligatory Franken Potential Replacement Poll

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

People who don't think Ellison would do well in Minnesota miss that the Minnesota was a state that was overwhelmingly for Bernie.

But Trump came close to winning MN. Would Islamophobia sink Ellison?

Bernie won the Minnesota Caucus 61.6% or 118,135 votes, so I don't see Ellison having a problem especially because he is pro-worker. Also Minnesota has multiple Muslims/POC in office. If there is a special election I think it would be close but I think the Bernie wing would carry the victory over the establishment.

I would like to see Ellison as the Minnesota senator, we need more progressives in the midwest.

All of the Muslims in office in MN are in ultra safe D legislative/congressional seats. It's not as if we've seen a Muslim win a competitive general election.
