Minnesota Republican candidate's site briefly posted comment on Trump's unpopularity

A brief excerpt on Republican congressional candidate Eric Pratt's campaign website acknowledged President Trump's lack of popularity and advised that messaging should center on local priorities. The sentence was embedded within a “Pratt Playbook” segment and was subsequently edited to a neutral statement about residents' needs. An X user posted a screenshot of the original wording, drawing attention to the apparent mistake.

Pratt, a Minnesota state senator and former banking executive, is running for the 2nd Congressional District seat left open by Democrat Angie Craig, who is pursuing a Senate bid. His opponent, Democrat Matt Little, has already linked Pratt to Trump in campaign rhetoric. Pratt has been approached for comment but has not responded publicly.
