Rep. Angie Craig, D-Minn., is opening up a vulnerable seat after announcing plans to run for Senate to replace her fellow Democrat Tina Smith.
"Out of touch Democrat Angie Craig just announced she’s running for Senate, and MN-02 is now an extremely competitive open seat. With this district wide open – and many House Democrats racing for the exits for a promotion – national Democrats are in deep trouble," National Republica Congressional Committee spokesman Zach Bannon said in a statement."The writing is on the wall for House Democrats, and their vulnerable members like Angie Craig are racing for the exits. Republicans look forward to flipping this open seat red," he added. Anders Hagstrom is a reporter with Fox News Digital covering national politics and major breaking news events.
