Minnesota will delay the November congressional election for its 2nd District after the secretary of state's office confirmed third-party candidate Adam Weeks' death on Thursday. State law says that if a major party nominee dies 79 days ahead of the Nov. 3 election, the election will be postponed until a special election is held on the second Tuesday of February, or Feb. 9 in 2021. MINNEAPOLIS BISHOP HOSTING GUN BUYBACK AS HOMICIDE TOLL CLIMBSCraig said in a Friday tweet that she and her wife are "praying for the Weeks family during this unimaginably difficult time." Kister issued a statement saying he had directed his campaign to suspend all advertising out of respect for Weeks’ family and friends. Campaign spokesman Billy Grant said the secretary of state was “very clear” about the law, and they didn’t want to discuss hypotheticals.
