Minnesota perhaps looks to have more in common politically with VA and CO than its Midwestern neighbours after the convincing Biden win. It is fundamentally not a Rust Belt state, being anchored by a growing, educated metro, which really has no comparison in the Midwest apart from Chicago.
Worrying signs for Republicans include the extremely narrow victory in Anoka County (not exactly the typical upscale suburb one would expect of a place which swung almost 10 points D), and the continued inability to clear 45%.
Not saying it’s completely fallen off the battleground map, but the near-consensus on Atlas before the election that the next Republican path to 270 will have to go through MN looks doubtful.
