MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Hundreds of protesters marched from two different Minneapolis locations Wednesday night, before converging onto Interstate 94, in response to several issues, including the presidential election. WCCO’s Jennifer Mayerle said two groups of protesters were expected to march two miles — one beginning on Cedar Avenue in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, and the other at the Hennepin County Government Center downtown — then loop back. The exact route wasn’t disclosed. Protesters began gathering at the sites at about 6 p.m., and then began marching at about 7:15 p.m.

House Republicans may not have taken back control of the lower chamber, but GOP lawmakers say they see the party's sizable gains as a promising sign they can take back the House in 2022. Political handicappers, in the days leading up to Nov. 3, projected GOP losses of between five and 20 seats, and the ultimate results left some within the GOP stunned by the unexpected success and with how the party significantly broadened the conference’s diversity and increased the number of female members. “Now I've heard for months from the pollsters in the media about how Republicans were going...

By Monday night the state's early voting tally was 62% of 2016's total turnout. ST PAUL, Minnesota — The people who run Minnesota's elections would love to lead the nation again in voter turnout percentage, even in the middle of a pandemic. And, they're off to a good start. As of Monday night, 1,839,710 votes had been cast by Minnesotans. That includes people who chose to vote absentee in person or by mail, and those who live in areas of the state where elections are conducted only via mail. That number is roughly 62% of all votes in the last...

I think the outcome of the election could depend on these states. If Trump loses Pennsylvania he can still win if he prevails in Arizona, Minnesota, North Carolina and Wisconsin. I believe Trump will win FL, OH and MI. Does Trump have a real shot at winning Minnesota or North Carolina? I am worried about those two states. It would help tremendously if wins those two. I am generally confident of a Trump victory but rather not assume anything.

Minnesota A victory in the North Star State would kick a Planned Parenthood vice president from Congress, and have titanic implications for the Senate in 2020. In just four weeks, U.S. Sen. Tina Smith, D-Minn., has seen her staggering 11-point lead in Minnesota completely washed out.The race between the Democratic senator proudly called the “highest ranking planned Parenthood executive in US politics” and an unapologetically conservative former talk radio host, Rep. Jason Lewis, should be turning heads as both a critical race in its own right and a potential sign of much larger changes in the 2020 race.“We are seeing...

This wasn't a memorial by the actual synagogue that was shot up. Instead Bend the Arc, a toxic leftist group backed by Soros' son, tried to hijack the memorialization of the mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue by an alt-righter to push an anti-Israel and anti-Jewish agenda. And who better to invite to that kind of circus than Senator Bernie Sanders. Sanders delivered, bashing Israel, and insisting that the shooting of 11 Jews wasn't really about Jews, but about "multiracial democracy" and "immigrants, people of color, LGBTQ people". Then he shifted over to insisting, "All over the world...

A website that Minnesota residents can use to track their absentee ballots crashed for more than an hour Saturday morning three days before Tuesday’s election. The problem stemmed from a “hardware issue” impacting online tools for voters and site issues with the Statewide Voter Registration System, a spokesperson from the secretary of state’s office told the Associated Press.

I went to vote early in Minnesota. The workers said the machines are down, it would be a few hours wait, and that our votes would be stored in envelopes. Your thoughts?

Democrat, 2020 POTUS Candidate, Joe Biden melts down, loses his cool, and calls out to Trump Protesters, who were peacefully protesting his sparsely attended political drive-in rally..."UGLY FOLKs", at a political rally yesterday in Minnesota. Biden, as he has done before, follows in the footsteps of Democrat, Loser Hillary Clinton, who called Trump supporters in 2016 POTUS race, "DEPLORABLES"!!! It seems when Biden has more then one rally on his plate, he fades out and then loses his cool and begins his his ugly rants!!! IMHO, this dude, Biden is far from being POTUS material..period!!! Just simply , one man's...

Among early voters, Trump trails badly at 64/26, but then again, Democrats are the voters turning out early. John Pudner calculates that Biden has to win 70% of the early vote. If that’s the case, then the Election Day turnout could swamp that lead — and that favors Trump by nearly twenty points, 54/35. Forty percent of all votes will come in on Election Day, SUSA finds, but only 31% say they have already voted. Also, Jason Lewis is within the MoE of Tina Smith, 42/45. The demos tell a similar story as with Trump. Lewis had to get off...

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said Friday on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time” that President Donald Trump has a real shot of winning Minnesota’s 10 electoral votes. Anchor Chris Cuomo said, “The president is putting a lot of money into your state. He’s greatly increased his ad buy, 1.2 million in TV advertising in the final week of the campaign, more than was spent in the preceding three weeks combined. Do you think the president has a real shot in Minnesota?” Ellison said, “Honestly, yeah, I do.

There are currently more Minnesota Trump supporters lined up outside the Biden event than cars in attendance for the campaign event in St. Paul.

"That's the end to Minnesota Nice!" my Norwegian husband exploded upon hearing Minnesota Governor Walz banished 25,000 Trump supporters to a cold field in Rochester, MN. But nothing stops hardy Minnesotans from going out to meet their beloved President and nothing stops President Trump from greeting his people. As a beautiful gold-and-magenta Minnesota sunset kissed the sky, the Beast whisked President Trump straight from Airforce One to the non-dictator-sanctioned, "illegal" crowd of 25,000 banished from the approved rally area. And we loved him for it. "He's always a class act," I told Michael. President Trump took his time too. In...

The venue for President Donald Trump’s political rally in Minnesota scheduled for Friday will be restricted to only 250 people after Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison put pressure on the business owners of multiple locations. The rally was initially planned at the Rochester airport, but Ellison’s office demanded a “COVID preparedness plan” from officials from the City of Rochester, Olmsted County, and the Rochester airport, as well as the Republican National Committee to ensure the event was safe. The event was then moved to Dodge Center, prompting Ellison’s office to ask the Trump campaign and the owner of the building...

Donald Trump has criticized Minnesota's Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison as COVID-19 restrictions in the state have forced the Trump campaign to downsize a rally due to be held on Friday. The president's rally was originally planned for Rochester Airport, but reports on Thursday indicated that the campaign had moved the event to the property of two businesses in the city of Dodge Center. However, after some confusion, it was later announced that the rally would take place at the airport and that entry would be restricted to the first 250 people to arrive. -snip- In response...
