Republicans haven’t won a statewide race in Minnesota in 15 years. Now, as they look to the midterms, they must confront the lasting influence of Trump and Trumpism, which continues to divide the GOP.

This week, Rasmusson talks about his path to the Legislature and his vision for the divided party he’s poised to inherit.
