Staff Reports
Donald Trump recently spoke at a rally in Minnesota, where he criticized President Joe Biden and rallied his supporters, much like he has done in the past. The state, which has traditionally leaned Democratic, has been getting attention from both parties due to its unexpected closeness in the 2016 election and recent shift towards the GOP.
During the rally, Trump made jokes about the state of the venue and used props to mock Biden. He also boasted about imposing tariffs on foreign steel, claiming it helped the iron mining region of northeastern Minnesota, known as the Iron Range, to thrive. This area, which has a large population of union and blue-collar workers, has been trending Republican in recent elections.

Trump criticized Biden, calling him a “horrible president” and accusing him of destroying the country. He also made personal attacks on Biden’s athletic abilities and golf game. These remarks resonated with his supporters who believe that Trump will make America safe again, particularly in regard to the increase in crime under the current administration.
The rally, which had a comedic twist, is seen as a boost for both the Republicans and Democrats. The event is a reminder that the upcoming election is likely to be driven by the base support for each candidate, as both Trump and Biden are not widely popular. Additionally, recent polls suggest that Biden may be facing challenges with various voter demographics.
Overall, Trump’s rally in Minnesota reflects the ongoing political polarization and the intense competition between the two parties as they gear up for the next election.
