Kamala Harris's effect on future polling has yet to be measured, but recent findings indicate Minnesota – which has not voted Republican in a presidential election in decades – is now a swing state.
Former President Trump thinks he can carry it and appeared with running mate JD Vance in front of a huge crowd in St. Cloud on Saturday.
"Rural Minnesota is solidly conservative," accounts Olive Tree Ministries founder Jan Markell. "So, he has a chance. I think this year could surprise people with the results from Minnesota. Keep watching. It's going to be very, very interesting."
But as it is with so many other competitive states, she is concerned about the election shenanigans that she suspects are already in motion.
"They're going to cheat like never, ever before," Markell warns of the Democrats. "They're going to have a sophisticated … cheating machine that's going to be hard to beat. Everything on the right is going to have a difficult time because of the propensity for evil. And this is the last days, so, I expect this kind of evil to abound."
Remembering state Senate candidate Norm Coleman (R), who lost a re-election effort in 2008 by 312 votes, she laments, "We perfected how to cheat here. It's very, very sad."
