Minnesota election results: Roundup of key MN races
ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) - Here's a roundup of election results from across Minnesota. Democrat Kamala Harris won Minnesota's 10 electoral votes early Wednesday. Minnesota typically votes Democratic for president, with the state not having voted Republican since 1972.

Even U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat who has easily won reelection four times, saw her margin of victory slip below 20 points for the first time. She defeated former professional basketball player Royce White, a Republican, by 15.7 points.
Minnesota hasn't sent its 10 Electoral College votes to a Republican candidate since 1972, and it didn't break that streak in 2024.
