DFL Party Statement on Donald Trump Jr.'s Plan to Visit Minnesota on Wednesday

St. Paul, MN - Today, DFL Party Chairman Ken Martin released the following statement in response to reports that Donald Trump Jr. will visit Minnesota next Wednesday:

“The Trump administration has failed Minnesotans, plain and simple. Donald Trump Jr. plans to visit our state next week in an attempt to distract from his father’s disastrous response to the coronavirus pandemic that’s infected nearly 80,000 Minnesotans, and left thousands more out of work. Duluth’s July unemployment rate was higher than at any point during the Great Recession, and our state just saw our one-day record for positive coronavirus cases. Donald Trump Jr. was born into privilege and doesn’t understand what everyday Minnesotans are going through as a result of his father’s incompetence and failed economic policies. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris understand working families, and that’s why they will win Minnesota, help elect DFLers up and down the ballot, and make Donald Trump a one-term president.”
