HOMER, Minn. – Every other citizen has yanked up political yard signs but not at this address on Old Homer Road. An oversize red 2020 for Trump-Pence reigned until recent months but now has been updated in anticipation of Trump landing the 2024 Republican nomination, this time without Pence. What are Trump’s chances of carrying Winona County if he makes it to the next ballot? Winona County went 44% for Trump over Clinton in 2016. For 2020 the county went 49% to 48% for Biden over Trump.
Presumptuous? Prescient? Partisan for sure. Twenty months ahead of the next presidential election, this household already has made up its mind. The bluff-side yard sign is impossible to miss coming or going on Highway 61. Image: Steve Lunde
