MPR’s Tom Scheck reports on the expensive Minnesota's U.S. Senate race.
The latest campaign spending reports confirm that Minnesota's U.S. Senate race was by far the most expensive in the state's history. The race, considered one of the most competitive in the nation, ended with Republican Norm Coleman defeating former Vice President Walter Mondale. Mondale entered the race after DFL Senator Paul Wellstone died 11 days before election day. In total, Mondale, Wellstone and Coleman raised nearly 25 million dollars.
