Republicans are targeting Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan as a progressive foil in upcoming midterm elections, aiming to shift the focus from President Trump's approval ratings to a broader choice between the GOP and a perceived leftward-moving Democratic Party. GOP operatives are collecting video of Flanagan and other liberals to use in attack ads, highlighting her support for dismantling ICE, transgender rights, and ties to Bernie Sanders.
