In recent weeks, polls have shown Trump leading Biden in blue Minnesota. Two separate polls show Trump tied with Biden in Virginia.
Neither state has been won by a Republican candidate in decades.
Now, according to new polling data, Trump has a slight lead over Biden in both states.

Obviously, we have to take the polling data with a grain of salt, things could change between now and November, but if these numbers are close to accurate, it means these states are competitive.
If you’re part of the Biden team, you don’t want these states to be close to being competitive.
It’s also important to point out that these polling numbers were drawn after New York’s presumptive convictions.
The Biden White House should sound the alarm.
