In addition, the DFL won every constitutional office, won back the majority in the State House of Representatives, flipped two congressional seats from red-to-blue, one of those seats being represented by the Republicans by over forty years, and elected two women to the U.S. Senate, Senator Amy Klobuchar and Senator Tina Smith, becoming only the fifth state in the nation to be represented by two women in the U.S. Senate simultaneously. After coming within 1.5% of winning Minnesota in 2016, Donald Trump's campaign heavily invested in winning Minnesota in 2020. These investments included millions in advertising and over 60 campaign staffers. With the DFL's influence, the Democratic nominee Joe Biden won with 52.40% of the vote to Trump's 45.28%. The DFL Party, under Martin's leadership, also succeeded in re-electing Senator Tina Smith, holding the State House of Representatives, holding the two congressional seats the party flipped from red to blue in 2018, and flipping three Republican-held State Senate seats. Martin was re-elected to his sixth term as Chairman of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party on February 6, 2021. In their coverage of his re-election, the Star Tribune noted that "Martin's party is coming off a string of statewide election wins, and more than $130 million raised compared to the state Republican Party's $45 million during his 10-year tenure." The Star Tribune also noted that, as of Martin's re-election, "the Minnesota DFL Party has $2.5 million in the bank compared to $55,000 on the GOP side". DNC Vice Chair In 2017, Martin was elected by his peers throughout the country as the President of the Association of State Democratic Chairs (ASDC), and by that election became a Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). On January 21, Martin was unanimously re-elected President of the ASDC. Upon his re-election, Martin pledged to continue "our important work of strengthening Democratic infrastructure across America."
