Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to make an appearance today at a Republican fundraiser in Minnesota, despite his previous statement that he would not return to the state after losing it in the 2020 election. Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota expressed his sentiments regarding Trump's visit, highlighting the former president's past electoral defeats in the state.
Governor Walz remarked on Trump's upcoming visit, stating, 'He's coming back for a hat trick. We're the state of hockey. He lost it in '16, lost it in '20, he'll lose it in '24.' The governor expressed disappointment that Trump did not uphold his promise to stay away from Minnesota after his electoral losses.
Walz also referenced a recent interview in which Trump claimed he had won Minnesota in the 2020 election, despite official results showing otherwise. The governor emphasized that Trump's assertions were unfounded, as he lost the state by over seven points.
Despite Trump's visit and rhetoric, Governor Walz focused on the ongoing legislative agenda in Minnesota. He credited President Joe Biden for initiatives such as providing meals for children during the summer and advancing infrastructure projects in the state. Walz reiterated his commitment to addressing the priorities of Minnesotans and moving forward with essential governance tasks.
