ST. PAUL, Minn. — Lieutenant Governor Nancy Flanagan, a pleasant person not inclined to rudeness, couldn’t resist a barb when she heard that former President Donald Trump would be speaking next week in St. Paul:
“Do you remember in 2020 when Donald Trump told a crowd in Duluth that if he lost in Minnesota, he’d never return to our state? I sure do. And yet Trump is headed to Minnesota next week to headline MN GOP’s biggest fundraising event of the year, campaigning for himself and the entire Republican ticket. Well, Trump can lie all he wants, but mark my words: Minnesotans will still make him a 3x loser in November.”
Yes, Flanagan is a Democrat. Minnesota’s recent record in residential elections:
> 2016: Hillary Clinton, 46%; Trump 44%.
>2020: Biden, 52%; Trump 45%.
