Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris will compete in Minnesota for the state’s ten Electoral College votes. The liberal state has voted for the Democratic candidate in the last two elections. Trump’s pitch to voters focused on the economy, immigration and crime. Since taking over as Democratic standard-bearer after President Joe Biden resigned, Harris has argued she would usher in a new era and has campaigned on improving the healthcare economy, protecting abortion rights and safeguarding democracy. In 2020, Biden won Minnesota with 52% of the vote, compared to Trump’s 45%. In 2016, Hillary Clinton won Minnesota with 47% to Trump’s 45%. Minnesota has been a reliably liberal state for decades, but was seen as a place where Trump overperformed in the recent election. The choice of state Governor Tim Walz as vice presidential candidate has made the state even less competitive this year.
