Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.) was appointed by Gov. Mark Dayton after the resignation of Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.), due to sexual harassment accusations, she took over on Jan 3, 2018.

Smith is running to fill the remaining of Franken's term.

Minnesota State Karin Housley (R-St. Mary's Point), also the wife of Buffalo Sabres NHL head coach Phil Housley is the Republican Senate nominee.

Smith vs. Housley. Who wins?

I say:

Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.) 60% (inc.)
State Sen. Karin Housley (R-Minn.) 40%

Smith by double digits. Even Franken would win against a some dude like Housley.

Housley is a woman.

She's also a state Senator, not a random candidate. But not a good candidate in any way. She's actually attacking Smith for opposing Trump. Smith easily wins.

The Klobuchar (far and away)/Walz/Smith troika will win easily.

It is over.  Unless a miracle arises the GOP is going to be wiped out in Minnesota this year.

I assumed housley would run a good campaign seeing as how she won 25% of clinton voters in her district in 2016. But rn yeah she prob loses by around 9-12 points

She wouldn't win anyway, but she could at least not run a campaign of attacking Smith for being too hard on Trump.

^Housley needs Trump's base (however small it may be), distancing herself from Trump would make things even worse for her and lose her a lot of votes.

Indeed. She probably didn't want to get Pawlenty'd in the primary.

I mean, obviously she’ll lose this year, but if she distanced herself from Trump she’d lose even in a GOP wave year, so yeah...

Housley only got over 60% of her primary against a Some Dude despite being pro-Trump; Smith outperformed expectations and dominated with over 75% despite a more controversial primary (Franken, mining). Smith won't have much difficulty and will continue to be underestimated.

Lol, who else is just coming here and checking when the first Housley vote comes in every few minutes?

Anyways, Smith, my first real guess I will start at 55-43.
