Trump aims to capitalise on 'cultural shift' in Minnesota as polls show support for Black Lives Matter movement faltering
Donald Trump’s campaign is pouring resources into winning Minnesota, betting that rising public opposition to Black Lives Matter protests will tip an historically Democratic state the president narrowly lost four years ago.
A public policy polling survey of Michigan conducted between August 28-29 found that 56% of voters think the state’s Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer, has done a better job on the outbreak, compared with 39% who think Trump’s done better. Minnesota has a progressive tradition that dates back generations through its Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, which is affiliated with the US Democratic Party and has produced an outsized number of national political figures.
The spots now running in the state, and in adjacent western Wisconsin, portray Democrat Joe Biden as “taking a knee” when protests in Minneapolis turned violent. “Lawless criminals terrorise Minneapolis,” the advert says over images of burning buildings and a mask-wearing Biden. Some of the ensuing protests turned violent, with hundreds of Minneapolis buildings burnt or otherwise damaged. Wisconsin is wrestling with its own bout of unrest after a police officer in Kenosha was seen on video last month shooting Jacob Blake, also black, in the back seven times.
