Former NBA player Royce White, a Republican candidate for Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s U.S. Senate seat, is urging Minnesota Republicans to vote for Samuels, who came within less than 2 percentage points from defeating Omar in 2022.
“I will gladly give up 5,000 votes in the CD5 primary to accomplish this goal. Everywhere else in the state vote for Royce White for U.S. Senate,” White posted on X. “If you pull Democrat you can only vote Democrat for primary, that’s fine, we’ll see you in the general.”
