In Rochester, Trump urges Minnesota Republicans to turn out in November

ROCHESTER – President Donald Trump predicted a “very big surprise” in Minnesota in the upcoming midterm elections as he urged Republicans gathered here Thursday to support candidates who will back his agenda.

“This is supposed to be a Democrat state. … I don’t think so,” Trump said to loud cheers. He narrowly lost Minnesota in 2016, and the state has a number of competitive, high-dollar congressional elections this year that could determine whether Republicans or Democrats control Congress next year.
