| Description | DULUTH, Minn. — When Norman Johnson started working as a miner on Minnesota's Iron Range in the 1970s, he kept his conservative political views to himself. By the time he retired this summer, he felt comfortable passing out Trump bumper stickers to co-workers and putting campaign signs in his front yard.
"For a long time, you were hard pressed to find a Republican. Now they're all over the place," said Johnson, 65.
Once reliably Democratic and home to strong labor unions, the Iron Range could now help deliver President Donald Trump Minnesota's 10 Electoral College votes, a flip that could help re-elect an incumbent facing difficult prospects in other important states.
If Trump can flip Minnesota, he could lose Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania to Joe Biden and still get re-elected if he holds the rest of his 2016 victories. |
