A number of Democrat mayors from Minnesota endorsed President Donald Trump for a second term on Friday as Vice President Mike Pence campaigns in the state.
"Like many in our region, we have voted for Democrats over many decades. We have watched as our constituents' jobs left not only the Iron Range, but our country. By putting tariffs on our products and supporting bad trade deals, politicians like Joe Biden did nothing to help the working class. We lost thousands of jobs, and generations of young people have left the Iron Range in order to provide for their families with good-paying jobs elsewhere. Today, we don't recognize the Democratic Party. It has been moved so far to the left it can no longer claim to be advocates of the working class. The hard-working Minnesotans that built their lives and supported their families here on the Range have been abandoned by radical Democrats. We didn’t choose to leave the Democratic Party, the party left us," the letter, signed by Virginia Mayor Larry Cuffe, Chisholm Mayor John Champa, Ely Mayor Chuck Novak, Two Harbors Mayor Chris Swanson, Eveleth Mayor Robert Vlaisavljevich and Babbitt Mayor Andrea Zupancich, states.
"Yet, four years ago, something wonderful happened. Donald J. Trump was elected President of the United States, and he stood up to China, implemented tax cuts, and fought for the working class. Now, four years later, the Iron Range is roaring back to life and for the first time in a very long time, locals are hopeful because of this President's policies and willingness to fight for us," the mayors continue. "Lifelong politicians like Joe Biden are out of touch with the working class, out of touch with what the country needs, and out of touch with those of us here on the Iron Range

He won’t win the state because of Burlington but there’s lots of support out there.

Burlington is a cesspool of Socialists, BUT I suspect there are many silent voters there who will pull the lever for Trump because of the anarchy they’re watching on the Telly every evening! Socialism is seduces many older Liberals but their attitude changes when the Brownshirt goons get in their faces.
She’s too much of a screamer. I thought her performance was a little over the top.
I agree completely. Actually more than a little over the top, so much so that came off a little fake.
Like she was trying to impress somebody.
Deep blue Baltimore, Prince Georges, and Montgomery Counties dominate the political landscape in MD. Howard and Charles Counties have also gone blue.
All that about trade deal and the working man. In reality, the anarchists/socialists/communists tearing up the cities scares the crap out of these dems. They just don’t want to come out and say that.
Trump already had Upstate.
If what’s left of NYC grows a brain...
bttt

Yes, sadly that is the fate of the Free State today. On the bright side, my residence is in Garrett County where the electorate has voted Republican in every election since its founding in 1872.
You’re right - the tide is turning...
Minnesota won't look back either... too many of their jobs were shipped to China by Obama and Biden... Biden's 'great empathy' is for his friends, family and fellow white liberal 'elites'...not NOT NOT NOT for working Americans. WE get the words - Biden's gang get the deeds.
The Biden bunch is out there again today.
Probably their course syllabus this Fall requires many hours of Social Justice Warfare. They’re either out there with Biden Harris signs, or *else*.
Lots of women this time. Looked like soccer moms. To me the lack of professionally produced signs speaks to a lack of party support.
No "California Dreaming" in 2020, eh?
