4. Hard to say how Minnesota is trending

The rural areas may be redder but the suburbs are getting bluer. Two rural Congressional seats went from Democratic to Republican in 2018 but two suburban/exurban districts went from Republican to Democratic.

All the statewide races went to the DFL as did the state House of Representatives. The state Senate wasn't on ballot in 2018 or we might have taken that back as well.
