LOL, “feel like a genuine battleground”. They don’t seem to realize how true their headline is.

“feel like a genuine battleground”

Yup. I hear gunshots from the battle every night in North Minneapolis.

More recently, he’s embraced a “law and order” message aimed nationally at white suburban and rural voters who may be concerned by protests that have sometimes become violent.

I have got news for the AP, there are plenty of folks in urban centers who like law and order, too, and some of them were happy to vote for old school Democrats who plowed the snow, spent money on infrastructure, and kept law and order. These folks are going to start voting for Trump and other Republicans.

If Plugs is there that means that his internal polling says that Trump has a chance. When he starts appearing in Illinois,Washington and Maryland you know it's gonna be a rout.

Do you ever notice how the media/dem party always tries to equate the Trump and Biden campaigns? They make it out like they are having dueling huge rallies. In reality, Trump will speak to thousands at a real rally in Bemidji while Biden talks to a few people at a union training center in Duluth and then be whisked away to talk to a large gathering to corn stalks. His grand total of humans to whom he speaks will be about 10. It should also be noted that this is Biden’s FIRST visit to MN since 2016 when he came to campaign for a congressman running that year. If, at this late stage of the campaign, Biden thinks he has to at least put in an appearance, they must have polls that show that Trump could very well win here.

Just about any other election year, and I would have said putting resources into MN would be a waste. But Trump lost MN in 2016 by only 1.5% to a much stronger DEM candidate in Hillary. Biden inspires no one to get enthused about the DEM ticket. It is mostly anti-Trump sentiment that is driving the DEM support.

Add in the massive destruction in Minneapolis and Biden campaigning there, and maybe MN finally comes to their senses. Or maybe voter fraud wins out once again.

—nonetheless, the Repubs have to look out for the “late” ballots—

—AG Kieth Ellison knows all about how to steal an election using that ploy—just ask Norm Coleman—

If Minnesota is in play for Trump then the rest of the country is even more for Trump than anyone realizes. Minnesota has always been a hotbed of leftism and the mismanagement of the Democratic Party is driving away voters. The leftist let the rioters burn down the capital (Minneapolis/Saint Paul) rendering it unlivable while they have destroyed the economy with lockdowns.

FTA: Since narrowly losing Minnesota in 2016, Trump has emphasized the state in hopes that a victory this year could offset losses in other states.

That’s what the A-Pee wishes. Trump is building on his 2016 victories and adding more electoral votes. Trump’s popularity is like a slow rising Mississippi River flood. Once the river tops the banks, there is nothing to stop it for miles.

[rightwingcrazy]

“They’re expected to avoid the state’s most populated areas near Minneapolis to focus on largely white rural and working-class voters”

Expected by whom, exactly? And even if they are avoiding the most populated areas, why do you assume the focus is on the color of their skin? Once again, the never-objective press fails to be objective, and claims clairvoyance.

Biden follows Trump every where. Follow the leader. LOL

Trump is not losing g even one state that he won in 2016.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

If Biden is defending Minnesota on September 18, his campaign is in deep trouble.

[catnipman]

“Trump and Biden hit unlikely battleground state of Minnesota”

right, AP, you wish ... just wait until Trump take “unlikely” Minnesota in a landslide!

[Impy]

"Unlikely Battleground" that Hillary won by like one point. 😏
