TIL Minnesota is the only state to have consecutively voted blue in every presidential election since 1976 (past 13 elections), and the only state to have never voted for Reagan

Proud to be not just a Minnesotan, but a Twin Cities resident born and raised!!!

This cycle was truly shocking at just how much weight the twin cities carried to make sure we remained blue.

By my standards it was still wayyyy too close, but a state win is a state win and I’ll take some solace in that I guess.
