Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, October 18, 2026 —

The Minneapolis-St. Paul program segment “At Issue: Oct. 18” features a debate between candidates for Minnesota secretary of state, coverage of an investigation into U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar’s immigration status, and new KSTP/SurveyUSA polls in three Minnesota political races.

The segment’s rundown says the investigation included a search of Omar’s Washington, D.C., home. It does not identify who conducted the investigation or search, when the search took place, what prompted the inquiry, or whether officials reported any findings. No response from Omar or her representatives is included in the available summary.

The secretary of state candidates’ debate is also part of the segment. The candidates’ names, the debate’s topics and format, and any statements made during the discussion were not provided. The available information therefore does not establish how the candidates differed or whether the debate addressed particular election issues.

The KSTP/SurveyUSA polls cover Minnesota’s U.S. Senate, state auditor and secretary of state races. The summary does not provide the survey results, field dates, sample sizes, margins of error or the names of the candidates included. It also does not specify whether the poll findings showed a leader or a change from earlier surveys.

Together, the topics bring campaign debate, an investigation involving a member of Congress and polling into the same program rundown. But the information provided offers no further details about the segment’s reporting or conclusions. The candidates’ identities, the investigation’s status and the poll figures remain unspecified.
