Content: Prior to the election, 15 out of 16 news organizations projected Minnesota as leaning towards Biden, or a lean blue state. Minnesota was ultimately carried by Biden by a 7.12% margin, significantly improving over Hillary Clinton 's narrow 1.52% margin in 2016. Biden's win marked the twelfth consecutive Democratic presidential win in the state, which has not voted for a Republican since Richard Nixon in 1972. Biden's comfortable margin notwithstanding, Minnesota was the state that came second-closest to flipping from blue to red in 2020, with only Nevada coming closer. Biden flipped four counties Trump carried in 2016: Clay, Nicollet, Blue Earth, and Winona, all of which were won by Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. Key to Biden's success was his performance in the Twin Cities metro area; he outperformed both Clinton and Obama (in either 2008 or 2012) there. His vote share in Hennepin was the highest of any nominee's since Theodore Roosevelt 's in 1904. He also improved on Clinton's performance in the Iron Range, although his performance in St Louis, Lake, and Carlton Counties was still well below what Democrats had historically been getting since the New Deal realignment up through 2012.
