Which would flip first: Michigan or Minnesota?

Minnesota, as of recently. The state has trended more to the right over the past 30 years, so the argument for loyalty to the democratic party is slipping. Plus, I think if anything Detroit and the big cities such as Flint, Lansing, Ann Arbor, etc. some of which are heavily black, would hold the state back.

However, it is those very cities that are losing population the fastest. The Detroit metro area, has lost relatively few people compared to the city proper.

Yes, but as of now, they still hold a huge chunk of the population. Republicans also need to do better in the suburbs (Oakland and Macomb counties) if they want Michigan to flip before Minnesota.

In statewide elections or presidential elections?

Sorry for my retail-customer-esque post. I do believe that Michigan will be easier for the GOP to win in Presidential years.

Oh it's fine. I believed I've done that before too.
