MINNEAPOLIS — Joe Teirab will face incumbent Democratic Rep. Angie Craig in the November general election after being declared the winner in the Republican primary in Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District.

Teirab did not earn the GOP's endorsement, but the candidate who did, Tayler Rahm, dropped out of the primary race in July to take a job on former President Donald Trump's election campaign.

Rahm remained on the ballot, though, and garnered support from some Republicans who viewed Teirab as an establishment candidate. Even after he dropped out, the 2nd Congressional District Republicans reiterated their endorsement of Rahm.
