It ain\u2019t going to happen!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>White only secured 40.5 percent of the vote in his 2024 matchup against Klobuchar, who got 56.3 percent. After former NFL reporter Michele Tafoya won the Minnesota Republican primary for the Senate on Tuesday, White mourned the downfall of his state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I witnessed today in Minnesota is disgusting,\u201d he wrote after midnight on Wednesday. \u201cWe have not had enough yet.

It was the transgender trapped inside of me, caged inside of me, that gave me an aversion to small spaces,\u201d he told the <i>Free People Radio<\/i> podcast.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast previously earned White\u2019s ire by reporting on his whopping debts, including more than $100,000 in child support payments for a daughter he barely sees.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cMy left nut gets more media attention than this left rag,\u201d he said in 2024 after the Beast published the story. \u201cIt\u2019s been a great couple of weeks.
