In the 2024 election, Vice President Kamala Harris's running mate, Governor Tim Walz, suffered a significant defeat as he lost his home county in Minnesota to President-elect Donald Trump. This loss was particularly damaging given that Walz was chosen to appeal to blue-collar voters in the industrial Midwest. Despite expectations, Trump secured 49.6% of the vote in Walz's home county, compared to Harris's 48.3%, a margin of +1.3%.
