5. Meh. She's OK but not my first choice, too centrist and corporation-friendly.

I'd certainly vote for her in the general vs. any of the troglodytes the GOP might put up, but she voted for the odious Laken Riley Act, which allowed ICE to arrest and deport immigrants for nonviolent crimes, and for a resolution that expressed appreciation to ICE personnel (and she's been running away from those votes ever since). She was the only Democrat in Minnesota’s delegation to support the resolution. She has also received contributions from AIPAC.

Peggy Flanagan doesn't have that kind of baggage, and she's been endorsed by, among others, Elizabeth Warren, Ed Markey, Tina Smith, Bernie Sanders, Chris Murphy, Pramila Jayapal, Ilhan Omar, Rho Khanna, Jeff Merkley, Chris Van Hollen, Keith Ellison and Al Franken.
