  1. After 3 months of taking L after L, Democrats needed this. 

  2. I truly think Trump somehow tapped into the minds of Americans. Stupid or not. He somehow polarized ~~half~~ 1/3rd of the country and convinced them to listen to him. If his name is on the ballot, they voted for him and his minions.

    2018 and 2022 flip proves this to be true. I’ll bet it happens in 2026 because his name isnt on the ballot. People’s thinking… I just don’t understand.

  3. While we won’t have our trifecta, we’ll at least retain 2/3, with a (likely) power sharing agreement in the House. This will at least allow Walz to continue to Make All Minnesota Awesome^((see what I did there?))

  4. Democracy is not a spectator sport – it requires participation – monitoring – communicating —- being present!

  6. Oh you mean the senate the Republicans were trying to steal because they had 1 extra vote for all of a month

    Edit: after a bit of reading i see this is the other chamber…tf Minnesota ties in both chambers?

  7. So what happens now with the Republicans that had their own session and elected a leader? Is that void?

  11. While I was walking to the Hennepin County Government Center to vote in this special election, a truck turned and came within two feet of flattening me, even though I had a walk signal on. It felt very symbolic.

  12. If Republicans continue to out themselves around the country for what they really are, expect more of this.

    This is why we hold elections so often. It is one of the many checks and balances that exist to try and stop authoritarian regimes from taking over the country.

    So please, keep it up Republicans. Keep showcasing unmistakable fascists ideals and throwing out nazi salutes. The country, and world, are watching very closely

  13. Good, getting to know Tim Walz was the highlight of the presidential run. If he runs in 2028, he will have my vote. Keep Minnesota safe.

  14. Good now act like republicans and do not take the high road.

  15. I went and voted yesterday. Youre welcome everyone else!!

  16. Finally, some good news in politics.

    But it’s not nearly enough yet to fight back

  18. Is there a week by week poll of this election? Did Trump’s executive actions really make an impact?

  19. It’s just mind boggling to me how a state that has been safely blue longer than most other blue states, has had a senate that was controlled by republicans before this. Things were looking so bleak for so long but there’s a shit ton of work to do still .

  20. As a Swede, can someone ELI5 what this means ? What implications does this have?

  23. Congrats to Minnesota. Wish we could secede to be a part of your state.

  24. Huh. Kinda makes the GQP’s recent tactics in that chamber appear…decidedly anti-American…and foolish AF.
