Matt Little Wins Democratic Primary for Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District

Former Minnesota state Senator Matt Little secured the Democratic nomination for the state’s 2nd Congressional District, according to projections from Decision Desk HQ. In a three‑way primary that also featured state Senator Matt Klein and state Representative Kaela Berg, Little emerged as the clear winner, taking the lead in both early returns and final tallies.

Little will face Republican state Senator Eric Pratt in the November general election. The contest pits a former state legislator with a background in education and public service against a GOP incumbent who has held the seat since 2017. Both candidates have outlined distinct policy priorities, but the race is expected to hinge on turnout and the broader national mood in a district that has historically leaned Republican.

As the campaign season moves into its final stretch, voters in Minnesota’s 2nd District will weigh the candidates’ records and platforms in preparation for the November ballot. The outcome will determine whether the district continues its long‑standing Republican representation or flips to Democratic control.
