    Minnesota is a Democratic-leaning swing state where Republicans have remained competitive, which likely pushes the state party toward moderation compared with places like Texas. While this isn’t representative of the entire party, it does suggest early cracks a year after Trump’s win. It’s not meaningless; it highlights how difficult the midterms may be for Republicans, especially in swing states, where extreme national behaviour makes it harder to compete in states that are nowhere near as extreme.

      Was the person the prime candidate of the Republicans in that state? I didn’t hear of them before being not from your country.
