he Trump campaign believes it can flip several states in 2020, including Minnesota, New Hampshire, Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico, according to senior Trump campaign officials who spoke with the Washington Examiner.
The five states went to Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, but the campaign says it is confident it can turn them for Trump in 2020.
“There are some states that we were very close in in 2016, Minnesota being one of them, New Hampshire being another … so I think that, you know, it’s pretty obvious to see what the states are that we fully plan to be competitive in, based on what was close,” Trump campaign Deputy Communications Director Erin Perrine told the Washington Examiner Thursday.

Thanks SMGFan.
Minnesota can be flipped in 2020 with a good strategy. Also, as a conservative voter in MN, I and many others would appreciate some attention from the national GOP establishment.
Yesterday I saw a truck with a Trump 2020 flag flying boldly in the wind. Because of the hews media, here in Minnesota we still feel like we conservatives are outnumbered. Yet in my town and the 3-county area the vote went for Trump/Pence by about 65%. If Trump and Pence had several rallies including outstate like in St. Cloud, Brainerd or Mankato, he would attract thousands to see him. Little Falls seemed to be the center of Trump love going for him by about 75%! Then get the other GOP candidates up front with Trump to get out the vote down ballot.
The red/blue map of Minnesota in 2016 was nearly all shades of red!!! The problem we have is the overwhelming domination of the news media in the Mpls-STP area. Our state-wide office holders are all Democrat. It is because people often do not seem to care enough about those offices to come out and vote. I do blame the state GOP for some of that. What we need is a good Secretary of State who will clean up the voting laws
If trends continue, Trump will have plenty of money to play with to expand the map, while he keeps the personal focus on the key states.
NH went to Hillary by less than 1 point. It could be flipped in 2020.
Cut off the voter fraud machines at the ankles and there may well be no dem strongholds outside of Chicago, NYC and SanFran anymore.
The MFers counting the votes in mn are Soros Democrat Steve Simon (sos) and pos AG Keith Ellison. Uphill climb :p
It was an uphill Climb in nearly every state Trump won up here, it was an uphill climb in MN in 2016, and Trump was within 25k on MN.. and only because of banked early voting... Trump won electionday by a landslide in MN...
I went through this nonsense in 16... short of an economic collapse between now and election day 2020, Trump will not lose any state he won in 16, and will take a few more from the list mentioned here...
Not to mention ME and CO passed laws granting their EC votes to the popular vote winner... Which I fully expect Trump to be... So regardless of how CO and ME vote on election day, they will (assuming they stick to the laws they passed) be giving their votes to Trump in 2020 as well.
Relax with the chicken little stuff.
I’d love to see him campaign in Connecticut. I think the ‘NO TOLLS CT’ people will go out in force in 2020. Connecticut, I think, is ready to flip.
I would consider the Twin Cities a lost cause. That would include the suburbs. I lived in Eagan, which was somewhat conservative by Twin Cities Metro standards. Now it’s barking moonbat left.
