Donald Trump incorrectly claims victory in Minnesota during 2020 election rally

Former President Donald Trump made bold claims during a speech at the Minnesota Republican Party’s annual Lincoln-Reagan Dinner in St. Paul, stating that he had won the state in the 2020 presidential election, despite official results showing otherwise. Trump, who lost to Democrat Joe Biden in the last election, reiterated his baseless allegations of widespread fraud in the 2020 election.

During his address, Trump expressed confidence in his ability to win Minnesota in the upcoming presidential election, despite the state’s long history of voting for Democratic candidates. While Trump campaign officials have suggested that an upset in Minnesota is possible, polling data and the state’s political trends indicate that he faces an uphill battle.

Major independent polls show Biden with a slight lead in Minnesota, and while Trump campaign officials have not confirmed plans to allocate resources to the state, they remain optimistic about their chances. Trump also used the opportunity to reiterate his hardline stance on immigration and national defense, calling for a “massive deportation” of undocumented immigrants and promising to build a new missile defense system.

In a surprising twist, Trump hinted at North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum as a potential vice-presidential running mate, praising him as a strong contender for the role. Throughout his speech, Trump took shots at President Biden, using profane language to criticize his leadership. As the presidential campaign heats up, both candidates are making bold claims about their chances in key battleground states like Minnesota and Florida.
