Former President Donald Trump is set to speak at the Minnesota Republican Party’s Lincoln Reagan Dinner in Minnesota, a traditionally blue state that he hopes to win in the upcoming election. Trump’s visit follows his attendance at his son Barron Trump’s high school graduation earlier in the day.
The event, scheduled for November, marks the beginning of Trump’s campaign efforts in the state, aiming to overturn Minnesota’s Democratic stronghold. Despite the state’s long history of voting blue, Trump came close to winning it in 2016, falling just 1.5 percentage points behind Hillary Clinton.
Recent polls show Trump making significant strides in Minnesota, with one poll indicating a virtual tie between Trump and President Biden. Trump’s campaign chair in Minnesota expressed optimism about their chances, pointing to Biden’s perceived failures as a reason for Trump’s potential success.
Trump has also hinted at making a push in other traditionally blue states like New York, New Jersey, New Mexico, and Virginia. His aggressive campaign strategy includes holding rallies and speeches in these states, with a focus on expanding the electoral map to secure victory in the upcoming election.
