Incumbent Michelle Fischbach (R) and Steve Boyd (R) are running in the Republican primary in Minnesota’s 7th Congressional District on Aug. 13, 2024. The primary is taking place after the state Republican Party declined to endorse either Fischbach or Boyd at its nominating convention. According to MinnPost, Boyd’s status as “an outsider who promises to shake up the system and join Congress’s rebellious Freedom Caucus” influenced the party’s decision not to endorse. Former President Donald Trump (R) endorsed Fischbach on Mar. 21, 2024, ahead of the April 2024 state party convention.
