Minnesota Republicans have selected a former NBA player to challenge incumbent Democrat Senator Amy Klobuchar in November. Despite his marginal status Royce White walked away with 2/3 of the delegates in the state’s GOP convention over the weekend. White was able to capitalize on grass roots and populist sentiments, as well as an endorsement from former Trump strategist Steve Bannon. To win the self-described anti-establishment White will have to defeat Klobuchar, a well-funded popular Democrat considered by some pollsters as a shoo-in for re-election.
