Suburban Twin Cities seat (southern metro) now **open** because incumbent [[Angie Craig]] is running for the U.S. Senate (see [[MN-Sen-2026]]). Craig held this swing-ish seat through several cycles; the open contest carries more risk than a Craig defense, and forecasters that earlier rated it Solid/Lean have settled around **Likely Democratic** on Cook.
**Ratings:** Cook **Likely Democratic** (open-seat).
