Minnesota Republicans prepare for Trump ending the state’s blue winning streak

Min­neso­ta Repub­li­cans say chaos with­in the Demo­c­ra­t­ic Par­ty over the fate of Pres­i­dent Joe Biden is push­ing the his­tor­i­cal­ly blue state clos­er to the GOP in time for the Repub­li­can Nation­al Con­ven­tion.

Sabato’s Crys­tal Ball found on July 3 that Min­neso­ta and Michi­gan Elec­toral Col­lege rat­ings shift­ed, the sec­ond time in less than a month that the out­let down­grad­ed Democ­rats.
In Min­neso­ta, the race has shift­ed from like­ly Demo­c­ra­t­ic to lean Demo­c­ra­t­ic. The Gopher State has been won by Democ­rats for over 50 years, with Democ­rats regard­ing it low on their list of pri­or­i­ties when it comes to cam­paign­ing. How­ev­er, this year, with Democ­rats in dis­ar­ray and Repub­li­cans final­ly unit­ed behind Trump, Min­neso­ta is more in play than it has been in years.
