Rural Midwestern Dems

I wish a Republican ran against Ron Kind just to see how that race would have turned out. Kind would have likely survived, as he is more entrenched than the three MN Dems, and has a friendlier district, but these trends were interesting and we'll see what happens in the long run. I think had the NRSC actually competed in MN-01 and MN-07, they would have picked up at least one.

Trump won MN-01 53/38, MN-08 54/38, and MN-07 61/31 (!).

MN-07 was already R+6 IIRC, but more Dem downballot. The future of that district is interesting. I do think MN-07 will eventually be solid R at the Congressional level eventually if the trends continue.
