Actually, the GOP picked up two House seats in Minnesota - the 1st in southern Minnesota and the 8th in northeastern Minnesota. Both seats were pickups from the Dems.

And the Democrats took the 2nd and 3rd districts from the Republicans for no net gain by either party. It remained 3 Republicans to 5 Democrats.

Point taken.

Given the loss of the 2nd and 3rd CD’s,there was a net gain of zero seats. I took your comment to mean that the GOP hadn’t won any seats in Minnesota.

If you look deeper at the numbers in the 2nd and 3rd CD’s, the GOP took a shellacking there at the legislative level. We lost many state house incumbents in what should have been fairly safe GOP seats.

The 3rd CD used to be the premiere GOP district in the state but it has been trending purple and with last fall’s results, I’m afraid it has gone blue.

As much as we love Trump on here, he has been an electoral liability in the Mpls-St Paul suburbs.
