Project Overview

Some political observers say that for the first time in decades, Minnesota is in play in the 2020 presidential election. Might the very narrow Democratic win in the state in 2016 signal that Minnesota can no longer be deemed reliably blue on election maps? Veteran Star-Tribune columnist Lori Sturdevant will assess that claim in light of Minnesota's trends, traditions and values. She invites you to join in a discussion of what's at stake on the 2020 ballot.
