Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic governor of Minnesota, had a ready answer for the question he's been hearing more lately: Is his state swinging toward former President Donald Trump this November?
"I don't see it on the ground. Donald Trump says a lot of things that aren't true," the multi-tasking governor told CBS News while he was preparing for a bill signing and tending to his barking dog. Walz is one of several high-profile Minnesota Democrats trying to defuse growing Republican claims.
During meetings with congressional Republicans on Capitol Hill last week, Republicans uncorked an argument that they believe Trump is competitive in Minnesota, New Jersey and Virginia in this year's election. Though the claim is not backed by broad sets of polling, and though it's a common political strategy to boast about a growing political battlefield to convince opponents to spend more to defend their interests, Democrats are responding aggressively and — in some cases — colorfully.
