Minnesotans, feel free to disagree with me. But I'm starting to worry about Democrat's chances here. Polling so far has shown a tight race between Wolf and Jensen and with a strong third party (legalize pot now) taking a significant number of votes away from Wolf, all Republicans might really need a small polling error to win.
We already saw this in 2020 with Tina Smith only winning by about 5 and most of the marijuana party votes likely coming from Dems. Seriously though, why is the party so influential in Minnesota and why haven't MN Dems found a way to just unite with them or smtg?
Walz is pretty inoffensive as an incumbent relative to other Dem governors which I think helps, plus the twin cities has become a very powerful and reliable base for Dems. This will certainly be put to the test come 2022.
They're buoyed by Republicans, who in turn stonewall attempts to legalize marijuana in the state and keep the issue relevant.
