Minnesota's First Congressional District
In Minnesota's First Congressional District, incumbent Brad Finstad won the Republican nomination for U.S. House. He'll face Rachel Bohman, who is the Democratic nominee in an uncontested race.
Minnesota's Second Congressional District
Incumbent Angie Craig won the Democratic nomination for U.S. House in Minnesota's Second Congressional District. She'll face off against challenger Joe Teirab, who won the Republican nomination in Minnesota's Second Congressional District. The race is expected to be Minnesota's most competitive House race in November.
In a statement, Craig said she is running to represent Minnesota's Second Congressional District because it is her home.
"I know these folks. They value their freedoms and independence. That’s a value I share deeply – and a value that has driven my work in Congress. But my opponent, Joe Teirab, is a guy who recently moved to the district because he saw a political opportunity. He’s a guy who has spent months doing anything to win the support of Washington Republicans. And he’s a guy who has made it his life’s mission to take away reproductive freedoms from families and give those decisions to politicians. That’s not valuing independence, that’s not valuing freedom. That’s party loyalty – and that’s not what this district is about," Craig said in her statement, noting she'll see Teirab "on the debate stage."
Teirab, a former federal prosecutor, has the support of former President Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson and the National Republican Congressional Committee. He faced defense attorney Tayler Rahm, who won the endorsement at the district convention with support from grassroots conservatives. Rahm announced in July he was suspending his campaign and would instead serve as a senior adviser for Trump's Minnesota campaign, but he remained on the ballot.
In a statement, Teirab said:
"I am honored to have won the trust and support of my neighbors in Minnesota’s Second Congressional District. Tonight’s definitive results send a clear message that Republicans are united and ready for change. We are ready to support candidates who will strengthen our economy, secure the border, and restore safety in our communities," said Teirab. "I’m looking forward to continuing to prosecute the case against Angie Craig and bring back common sense solutions to our district. Whether it’s record inflation, the chaos at the border, or the crime plaguing our communities, the Biden-Harris-Craig agenda has failed our district and our nation. We can do better."
Minnesota's Third Congressional District
Democrat Kelly Mirrison will face Republican Tad Jude in November. They both ran unopposed in their primaries.
Minnesota's Fourth Congressional District
Incumbent Betty McCollum won the Democratic primary in an uncontested race. She'll face the winner of the Republican primary, either May Lor Xiong or Gene Rechtzigel.
Minnesota's Fifth Congressional District
U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar is the projected winner of the Democratic primary in Minnesota's Fifth Congressional District after she defeated Don Samuels.
The race between Omar, the incumbent, and Samuels, a former City Council member, is a rematch from 2022, when Omar narrowly beat Samuels in the primary and went on to win the general election.

Omar was better prepared going into the 2024 primary compared to the 2022 primary. Omar has improved her fundraising over the past two years with this year’s pre-primary financial report showing she raised about $6.2 million, while Samuels about $1.4 million.

Omar will face off against Dalia Al-Aqidi, who won the uncontested Republican primary.
Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District
In other races, incumbent Tom Emmer won the Republican nomination for U.S. House in Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District, according to The Associated Press. In a statement Tuesday night, Emmer said, "I can’t thank the great people of Minnesota’s Sixth District enough for entrusting me with their vote. We’re one step closer to expanding our majority in the House, flipping the Senate, and sending President Trump back to the White House. Onward to November."
Emmer will face Jeanne Hendricks, who won the Democratic nomination for Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District, in the November election.
Minnesota's Seventh Congressional District
Incumbent Michelle Fischbach won the Republican nomination for U.S. House in Minnesota's Seventh Congressional District. She beat out Boyd, who has been referred to as a Christian conservative. Neither Republican got the GOP's endorsement in the race but Fischbach does have former President Donald Trump's endorsement.
Fischbach will face Republican AJ (John) Peters, who didn't have a primary challenger, in the general election in November.
Minnesota's Eighth Congressional District
Incumbent Pete Stauber won the Republican nomination for U.S. House in Minnesota's Eighth Congressional District. He'll face Jen Schultz, who won the Democratic nomination, this November.
