Minnesota often leads the nation in turnout, he noted, but Maine was No. 1 in 2022. He said Minnesota鈥檚 challenge in getting back to No. 1 is that other states have also upped their game.

The presidential campaigns clocked 80 visits to Pennsylvania since March
The presidential campaign is coming to a close.
As with previous elections, the candidates have largely stuck to the swing states they鈥檒l need to try to reach the 270 electoral votes required to claim the presidency. The U.S.鈥檚 unique Electoral College method of electing the president forces the candidates to appeal to voters in the states that could go either way, rather than trying to win the nation鈥檚 popular vote.
Seven states are considered in play this year, representing less than 20% of the U.S. population. Of those, the Democratic and Republican presidential tickets have focused most on Pennsylvania, the swing state with the greatest number of electoral votes.
Going back to March, when President Joe Biden was the presumed Democratic nominee, here are the number of visits the campaigns have made to those seven states through Monday, according to Associated Press tracking of the campaigns鈥 public events:
1. Pennsylvania 鈥 80
2. Michigan 鈥 63
3. Wisconsin 鈥 50

In September 2020, after criticism for a slow response to Hurricane Maria in 2017, Trump released $13 billion in assistance to repair years-old hurricane damage. It took Trump two weeks to visit the island after the storm and he was criticized for an appearance where he threw rolls of paper towels into a crowd.

Conservative media host Megyn Kelly plans to join Trump at a campaign rally in Pittsburgh
That comes nine years after Trump criticized the one-time Fox News host as 鈥渘asty.鈥
Kelly鈥檚 scheduled appearance at Trump鈥檚 Monday evening rally scheduled for PPG Paints Arena marks a long way from the first debate of Trump鈥檚 2016 campaign, when he criticized Kelly, a moderator for the event, as being harsh toward him, using sexist language.
鈥淵ou could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her 鈥 wherever,鈥 Trump told then-CNN anchor Don Lemon after the August 2015 debate in Ohio.

Social Security becomes an effective angle for unions working on turnout for Harris
Unions knocking on doors on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris are finding what they say is an effective line of attack against Republican Donald Trump 鈥 that he鈥檒l defund Social Security.
The former U.S. president has said he would make Social Security income tax-free. That鈥檚 problematic because those revenues help to fund the program and the loss of that money means Social Security would be unable to pay out its full benefits in fiscal year 2031, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a fiscal watchdog.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 one of the big issues for our folks,鈥 said Laura Dickerson, the United Auto Worker鈥檚 Region 1A director in Michigan. 鈥淧eople need to think about that they do not want to fully fund Social Security.鈥
The UAW has twice as many staff working on turnout compared to 2020 and 2016, enabling the union to directly contact all of its members and retirees and families of its members in support of Harris.
