In the 2014 United States Senate election in Minnesota, Democratic-Farmer-Labor incumbent Al Franken was re-elected with about 53.15% of the vote, defeating Republican Mike McFadden, who received around 42.91%, while Independence and Libertarian candidates shared the remainder. Franken’s victory secured him a second term in the U.S. Senate in a race where third-party candidates together captured a small portion of the vote.
