Who won the 1998 Minnesota gubernatorial election?

  • Norm Coleman

  • Rod Grams

  • Jesse Ventura

  • Al Franken

Answer

The 1998 Minnesota gubernatorial election resulted in an unexpected victory for professional wrestler Jesse Ventura. As an independent candidate, Ventura campaigned on a platform of anti-establishment populism and capitalized on widespread public frustration with the political status quo. His charismatic personality and unconventional background resonated with voters, propelling him to a surprising win over the Democratic–Farmer–Labor (DFL) candidate Skip Humphrey and the Republican Party's Norm Coleman.
