Should have picked Shapiro…

According to a New York Post report, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s own hometown broke for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Trump netted 49.6% of the vote in Minnesota’s Blue Earth County, where Walz’s family lived for 20 years before he was elected governor.

Vice President Kamala Harris only managed to lock down 48.3% of the vote.

From The New York Post:

That is a reversal from 2020, when now-President Biden handily won the county with 51% of the vote to Trump’s 46.5%, according to POLITICO.

Walz was born in Nebraska but moved to Blue Earth County as an adult, where he taught social studies and coached football at Mankato West High School.

He flipped the state’s 1st Congressional District for the Democrats in 2006, and represented the area in Congress for 12 years.

Walz then ran for governor, defeating his Republican opponent by double digits in 2018.

Minnesota’s 10 electoral votes ultimately went to Harris early Wednesday – but Trump still beat the Democratic ticket when he was the first to reach 270 electoral nods.
