DFL hosting a press conference now condemning Republican/corporate money flowing into the state in support of Antone Melton-Meaux, Rep. Ilhan Omar's primary opponent.

DFL Chair Ken Martin says outside money flowing in is "wrong and un-Minnesotan," mentioning Omar's small average donation v.s. her opponent.

"Let me be clear: We do not support efforts of big corporate Republican money coming into this state to try and support this election."

Attorney General Keith Ellison: "Big donors don't give money for nothing. They expect things. What do her opponents expect?"
