Minnesota has continued its streak of voting for Democratic presidential candidates as Kamala Harris and Tim Walz finished 4 percentage points ahead of Republicans Donald Trump and JD Vance, according to preliminary results. But Trump became president-elect after winning several battleground states, including Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Sen. Amy Klobuchar easily won reelection, and the seven U.S. House incumbents running for reelection also held off challengers while DFL former state Sen. Kelly Morrison won in the district Democrat Dean Phillips is vacating. Meanwhile, the DFL’s trifecta in state government appears to have ended with a 67-67 tie in the Minnesota House (results in races to watch tracked here).
