ROCHESTER, Minn.—Minnesotans are an independent bunch, so predicting the outcome of the midterm elections is more of a crapshoot here than for other states. It was the lone state that didn’t vote for former president Ronald Reagan’s re-election and has voted blue since Nixon’s 1972 victory.
In the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton won the state by 1.5 percent over President Donald Trump.
