National GOP conceding Minnesota Senate race

The National Republican Senatorial Committee won't be running television ads in the race for Minnesota's open US Senate seat.

Recent polling shows Democrat Amy Klobuchar well ahead of her Republican opponent Mark Kennedy. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee won't be running ads either which essentially says the national parties agree their money is better spent on a more competitive race. The Democrats will likely retain the seat being vacated by the retiring Sen. Mark Dayton.
