Associated Press Projects Biden Will Win Minnesota

November 4, 2020 2020 Elections, Joe Biden

Bloomberg News reports:

Democratic challenger Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump in Minnesota, the Associated Press projected, as voters rejected the incumbent’s law-and-order pitch that was a counter to Black Lives Matter protests.

Trump’s campaign had targeted the traditionally Democratic state, where George Floyd was killed by police in May. Minnesota accounts for 10 Electoral College votes. Nationwide, 270 votes are needed to win the White House.
