Since narrowly losing Minnesota in 2016, Trump has emphasized the state in hopes that a victory this year could offset losses in other states. David McIntosh, president of the conservative Club for Growth, which has produced anti-Biden ads, said Minnesota may help the Trump campaign build momentum. In 2016, Trump won that district, which includes the Democratic city of Duluth, by 15 percentage points.

The Minnesota Legislature passed a package of police accountability measures early Tuesday that includes a ban on neck restraints like the one that was used on George Floyd before his death in Minneapolis.

The bonding bill fell to the wayside as legislators worked to pass police reform as time expired on the session.

(Alex Kormann/Star Tribune via AP)Minnesota's pardons board on Friday granted a posthumous pardon to a black man imprisoned a century ago in the alleged rape of a white woman, part of a case that included the infamous lynchings of three other black men in Duluth. The board voted 3-0 to pardon Max Mason, one of several traveling circus workers accused in the 1920 case. According to the summary, the young man made no mention of any attack when dropping off Tusken at her parents house but related the story to his father early the next morning. Mason was allowed to travel to the circus next city, but was re-arrested the next day, and eventually identified as an attacker by Tusken and the young man. In recent weeks we have seen an injustice at the hands of those who are sworn to serve and protect in the murder of George Floyd, Tusken said.
