I see some interesting parallels here. Of course it depends on who the Ds nominate and how Trump's approvals are, but in 2020, Minnesota will have voted Democratic for president for 44 years (since 1976). In 1996, Arizona had voted Republican since 1952 (also for 44 years), until Clinton narrowly won it in the same year because of Perot, Dole's weaknesses among seniors and Hispanics and the attack ads against him in the GOP primary there.
Could we see Minnesota finally ending its Democratic winning streak in presidential elections in 2020? IIRC, this year was also the first time in history the state was more R than the nation as a whole.
