AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Campaign Rhetoric: President Donald Trump urged Minnesotans to “fight back” against Somali immigrants, drawing condemnation from state leaders. Separately, an 18-year-old was arrested on suspicion of planning an ISIS-inspired attack at the Mall of America. Election Protections: St. Paul Council President Rebecca Noecker pressed Ramsey County to publish rules for federal personnel near polling places and commit to addressing voter intimidation. County officials say election judges are trained to enforce state law. Legislative Battleground: All 201 Minnesota House and Senate seats are up this November. The DFL holds a 34-33 Senate edge, while the House is tied 67-67, and millions of dollars are flowing into competitive races. Senate Race: A new poll suggests Minnesota’s closely watched U.S. Senate contest may be tightening as both parties compete for the state’s open political ground.
