"Joe Biden and the Democrats can no longer rely on Minnesota as a reliably blue state," Republican Party of Minnesota Chairwoman Jennifer Carnahan said in a statement Thursday.
"The shifts throughout Minnesota, in addition to the increasing support for our President, reinforces the optimism we have about November 3rd.While the President is making his eighth visit to our state since he took the oath of office, Biden will use our state again as a backdrop, which will be too little too late."
