Biden team taking Trump’s ‘head fake’ try to flip deep-blue state seriously

Published May 17, 2024 9:49am ET



Democrats in Minnesota and President Joe Biden’s campaign for reelection are challenging former President Donald Trump’s claim that he can flip reliably blue Minnesota. 

Minnesota has not voted for a Republican for president since 1972. In 2020, Biden beat Trump in Minnesota by more than 233,000 (or 7 percentage points), and in 2016, former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton beat Trump by more than 43,000 votes in Minnesota.
