State primaries

Earlier this month, Minnesota’s presidential primary and dozens of other states awarded delegates to candidates that received a certain number of votes, swiftly sending Biden and Trump down clear paths of winning their party’s nominations.

Now, it’s the state candidates turn to vie for party primary wins.

Candidates running for state and local offices will run in the state primary on Aug. 13.
