Republicans aim to dismantle DFL trifecta at the Minnesota Capitol | Talking Points

Lost in the drama of an unprecedented Presidential race, and buried beneath the races for U.S. Congress are contests where a lot of people couldn't identify who the candidates are. This November, the entire 134 member House is on the ballot. Meanwhile, the state Senate and the Governor's race is not on the ballot until 2026. The DFL currently holds a four seat majority in the House, a slim margin that Republicans are working feverishly to upend. In Talking Points, Esme Murphy spoke with Republican Minority leader Representative Lisa Demuth, House Democratic Majority Leader Representative Jamie Long, and political analysts Amy Koch, a Republican, and Abou Amara, a Democrat. 0:00 Battle for the Minnesota House 1:55 Republicans aim to capitalize on upcoming empty seats 9:37 Evolving political landscape with down ballot implications 14:10 Name recognition key in district races 21:14 Harris, Walz trickle down excitement to smaller races #politics #republican #minnesota Official Site: http://wcco.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CBSMinnesota Twitter: https://twitter.com/wcco Instagram: https://instagram.com/wcco/
