     Minnesota Governor Tim Walz didn’t just lose the election as a whole to Donald Trump, but he even lost his home county to the Republican ticket.  He was a loser - period.

     President-elect Trump’s victory saw him receive 49.6% of the vote in Minnesota’s Blue Earth County, where Walz’s family lived for more than 20 years before he was elected governor. His running mate, Vice President Kamala Harris, fell below that mark with 48.3% of the vote.  That is a reversal from 2020, when now-President Biden won the county with 51% of the vote to Trump’s 46.5%, according to Politico.  Walz was born in Nebraska but moved to Blue Earth County as an adult, where he taught social studies and coached football at Mankato West High School. 

     The Democrat flipped the Gopher State’s 1st Congressional District for the Democrats in 2006, and represented the area in Congress for 12 years.  Walz then ran for Governor, defeating his Republican opponent by double digits in 2018. Minnesota ended up going to Harris on election night, but Trump defeated his Democratic opponent and reached the golden number of 270 electoral votes. Despite the fact that Minnesota was close to swinging right, the state traditionally backs Democratic candidates,   Politico reported. Meanwhile, Minnesota hasn’t voted for a Republican for president since Richard Nixon in 1972. Stay informed!
