The Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party will have a majority in the Minnesota Senate once again after their candidate won a special election in a Minneapolis district on Tuesday. Candidate Doron Clark held an overwhelming lead in election results late Tuesday in a DFL-dominated district.

A special election is being held Tuesday for Minnesota Senate District 60, which was earlier vacated due to the death of former DFL Senate Majority Leader Kari Dziedzic. The special election pits Democratic Party candidate Doron Clark against Republican Party candidate Abigail Wolters.

Just one day before the special election, Republicans tried and failed to expel Sen. Nicole Mitchell (D-Woodbury) over burglary charges stemming from an incident at her stepmother
