Currently, Democrats hold just a one seat majority (34-33) in the 67-member Minnesota Senate with the Legislature now heading into the final month of its 2024 session.
Technically, it is currently a 33-33 tie. Who holds the tie breaking vote? Is the legislature even in session? Maine has adjourned (except for veto day) until the next election.

This formerly marginal suburban area has taken a hard left turn in the past 10-20 years, judging by its election results.
