Trump is returning to Minnesota with Midwesterner Vance to try to swing Democrat-leaning state
SUMMARY
Donald Trump is returning to Minnesota with running mate JD Vance to court blue-collar voters in a state that has favored Democrats. They will hold a rally Saturday night at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center in St. Cloud, targeting support from union workers in the iron mining region. Despite Trump's narrow loss in Minnesota in 2016 and a larger defeat in 2020, his campaign remains confident, opening eight offices in the state. Vance, an Ohio senator with Midwestern Rust Belt roots, is seen as key to reaching these voters. Increased Secret Service security follows a recent assassination attempt on Trump. Additionally, Trump’s campaign now accepts cryptocurrency donations, reflecting his shift from previous criticism to support for digital currencies and mining rights.
