Endorsement for U.S. Senate in 2024: Minnesota

U.S. President, Senate, and House Endorsements 1 Minute

Amy Klobuchar vs. Royce White

As Democrats go, I like Amy Klobuchar. She positions herself as a moderate Democrat and, considering the rest of the party, she is a moderate. Despite preferring her to most of the rest of the field in the 2019 primaries based on her policy positions, I did not think she was a viable Presidential candidate. Sadly, she sounds unsure in debate.

She is very popular in Minnesota and the Republican Party had to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find someone to run against her. Royce White is a former professional basketball player who embraces a variety of populist positions and conspiracy theories. His principle appeal to some voters appears to be his MAGA connections. Klobuchar appears to be a near certain winner in this race. I have not been able to find a televised debate between them. Here is an account of a debate between them at a local Minnesota event. He comes across as strange. She is very focused on farm exports, which should make her very antagonistic to Trump’s tariff plans.

The Endorsement

This is not a hard call. I endorse Amy Klobuchar in 2024 for the U.S. Senate seat from Minnesota.

CIVPAC is a nonprofit political action committee focused on moving the existing political parties toward the political center. CIVPAC’s purpose is twofold: first, to promote centrist solutions to difficult public policy problems; and second, to support moderate candidates, including Democrats, Republicans, and independents. CIVPAC’s logo is adapted from Francisco Goya’s The Sleep of Reason. The inscription in the image reads, “The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters.”
