In Minnesota, polls show a tight race between President Trump and Joe Biden. This has Democrats worried; in 2016, the last October poll showed Hillary Clinton with an 11-point lead, and she carried the state by a point and a half. That was remarkable, in view of the fact that in 2016, the Trump campaign allotted $50,000 to Minnesota, according to Mick Mulvaney. This year, the campaign is spending millions, most significantly on voter turnout efforts.
The most tangible evidence that Minnesota is in play is the fact that Joe Biden has added a stop in St. Paul to his schedule for Friday. He didn’t to that because his campaign is happy with their own polling here. Breitbart reports: “Democrats increasingly worried Minnesota could flip for President Trump.”
Democrats are increasingly concerned that Minnesota, which has not voted for a Republican presidential candidate in 48 years, could flip for President Trump next week, given the GOP’s “significant operation” in the state and the Democrats’ stunning lack of canvassing in recent months. *** The Atlantic’s Peter Nicholas reports that Democrats estimate there to be “as many as 250,000 white residents who didn’t go to college—the heart of Trump’s base” who were not registered to vote during the last presidential election. Now, Republicans are “taking pains to find them.”
“Thanks to the free speech-stifling dictates of Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, only the first 250 people will be admitted,” the campaign said in a statement on Thursday.
“Without question, Minnesota Democrats had hoped that the President would simply cancel the event, but he will not allow partisan politicians to deprive people of their First Amendment rights to gather peacefully to hear directly from the President of the United States,” the campaign continued.

Yes
Just like it did in 2016 when three Republicans (Trump, Johnson, McMullin) combined for 51.1% of the presidential vote.
I like Trump’s and James’ chances. If I had to bet on one of the Great Lakes states, it would be this one, especially with African American dudes liking Trump.
Ellison can’t see how his moves backfire on the Dems.
John James is running for the MI Senate seat of Gary Peters. Jason Lewis is running for the MN Senate seat of Tina Smith.
Indeed!
There is a good chance..otherwise why did Joe Biden go there today and have a scream fit..heck more Trump supporters showed up than an actual Biden supporters..oh and Biden called Trump supporters “ugly” while in the same breath said that he would be President for even those who dont support him, but hey calling us ugly is apparently a term of endearment
I sure hope so.
On Reagan landslide win for re election, he won 49 states, except MN, Mondale home state
If Trump won there, that’s special. MN is hardcore liberal in Midwest
Kanye West is also on the ballot in MN
could take away a few black Biden votes
I so desperateley hope Lewis unseats Smith.
So many Minnesota people are still in their Blue bubble they got from birth.
They are not open minded but they are naive and gullible if it fits their closed minded narrative.
It takes actual cities to burn to WTFU.

Actually, maybe not for a lot of them.
Many will simply double down on their idiocy and blame “right wing boogaloo boys” or whatever else their idiot minds get filled with by the propaganda ministry of The Narrative Enforcement.
So, they’ll also double down on the idiot policies and vote themselves right into iron collars and chattel status.
There are some kinds of stupid that can not be fixed short of death.
Trump was right to go forward with that miserable rally
It really showed the communist left for what it is
“But Trump would not allow partisan politicians to deprive people of their First Amendment rights to gather
peacefully to hear directly from the President of the United States,” the campaign said.
I think Trump just won Minnesota tonight with this.
When Little Somalia turns into actual Somalia and they head to loot the suburbs, the Iron Range needs to say “F those guys we’re saving our ammo for when the come for us”.
Too bad the twin cities are too far south to swap to canada for Sask & Alberta.
