Lisa Demuth, a Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota, has publicly come out against the war with Iran, saying it is hurting Minnesotans. Her comments position her against military escalation at a time when the conflict's economic effects, including fuel and costs, are being felt at home. The statement marks a notable stance for a Republican candidate as the party debates America's role in the conflict.

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. did not travel with the team ahead of their game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is listed as questionable. His absence would leave a gap in Minnesota's linebacker corps, and fans are waiting on the final injury report to see whether he will be cleared to play.
