Minnesota Presidential Forecast lean dem

Last Updated: Thursday, July 18 at 10:39 AM EDT

Our model currently predicts that Joe Biden has a 70% chance of winning Minnesota.

Minnesota is a slightly to moderately blue state and has the longest active streak of voting for Democratic presidential nominees of any U.S. state, as it has not voted for a Republican for president since Richard Nixon won the state in his 1972 49-state landslide. Despite its history, Minnesota is not considered safely blue and remains a potential target for both parties in 2024. No Democratic presidential candidate has garnered over 55% of the vote since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. In 2020, Joe Biden won Minnesota by a 7% margin, a significant increase from Hillary Clinton's narrow 1.5% margin in 2016. Minnesota is generally expected to lean Democratic in the 2024 presidential election.
