MINNESOTA — Donald Trump flipped four Minnesota counties from blue to red in Tuesday's presidential election, showing gains since the 2020 election despite losing the state a third time.

According to preliminary vote totals, Vice President Kamala Harris won five counties outside the Twin Cities metro area. By comparison, in 2020, Joe Biden won nine non-metro counties.

Statewide, Harris/Walz won 50.88 percent to Trump/J.D. Vance's 46.66 percent, for about a 4-point margin of victory. That was below Biden's 2020 victory of about 7 percent.
