Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party

Democrats are reevaluating state conventions after a contentious Michigan event where progressive activists overshadowed centrist candidates, sparking debates over nomination processes. The conflict between progressive and centrist factions is intensifying in Minnesota's Senate race and prompting potential rule changes.

Minnesota mayors are opposing a state bill that would penalize cities by reducing state aid for not flying the new state flag. The Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party introduced the legislation, but mayors argue it represents government overreach and disregards local control and public opinion.
