 Minnesota, the first state to fight to preserve our nation in 1861. Today, to preserve our nation again, we Minnesotans proudly pledge all 39 of our delegate votes for our next president, Donald J. Trump. Even as the roll call of the states was underway, Trump announced his choice of vice presidential running mate, passing over North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and others in favor of Ohio Senator J.D. Vance. J.D.! J.D.!
