Flanagan reverses course, says she was a Phi Beta Kappa member after all

Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, has reversed her previous statement regarding her membership in the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. Her campaign confirmed her status as a member after initially claiming she had never joined the organization due to the associated membership costs.

The clarification follows an earlier assertion by the campaign that Flanagan was not a member of the academic society. The reversal addresses the discrepancy regarding her academic credentials as she continues her campaign.
