re: as you know, I am not one to put value on august polls, but these 2 caught my attention

For the longest time, I've been wanting to see Minnesota flip red. It's the longest Democratic holdout (hasn't gone red since 1972; even Massachusetts and Hawaii have gone red at least once since then)


The rioting in Minneapolis is doubtlessly a factor. If it intensifies a great deal between now and November, and if the police indeed are defunded there, it just might do the trick.
