It would be delicious (and devastating for Dems) if they weren't able to hold those seats. I'll be looking at these two seats for signs of how well Dems are doing on election night in November.
They would have a better chance IMO if someone that hadn't lost three times already was running. It seems to me that once you lose this many times the people sort of dismiss you.
Minnesota actually has four districts (out of a total of eight) that voted for the opposite party for president and Congress in 2016. The 1st, 7th and 8th districts chose Trump and House Democrats (two of whom are retiring), and the 3rd chose Clinton and a House Republican.
I think compared to other states, Minnesota has more voters who are not consistently loyal to one party for all races and the outcomes cannot be taken for granted. The narrowly Republican 2nd district is another potential flip - so there could be anywhere from a 7D/1R to 2D/6R delegation from the state in the 116th Congress. The 4th and 5th districts are safe D and the 6th is safe R.

Oh same here. I am a politics addict...I watch races every time they are on. I used to watch it on the tv like Fox,CNN and MSNBC but wife doesn't care for it so now I follow it on my laptop via politico.
