Minnesota primary voters will set the November match-up for U.S. Senate tonight.
The big picture: More than a dozen candidates are running across the DFL and GOP primaries.
- But the only real contest is on the Republican side, where voters will pick a nominee to go up against U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar in the general election.
Zoom in: Royce White, a former NBA player who secured the Republican Party endorsement in May, and Naval veteran Joe Fraser are the two leading candidates for the GOP nod.
- While White's actions, record and comments have attracted controversy, Fraser has failed to raise the cash strategists consider necessary to run a significant statewide campaign.
- Six other candidates are also on the ballot on the GOP side.
The other side: Klobuchar faces four challengers on the ballot, but neither have staged a serious campaign.
The bottom line: Polls close at 8pm.
