Rural Minnesota residents spoke to CNN’s Martin Savidge and told him they had previously voted for Democratic presidential candidates, but now they are aligning with President Trump. One resident said they didn’t leave the Democratic party, it left them.

Eveleth Mayor Robert Vlaisavljevich, who votes Democrat in state races, claims thousands of Minnesta residents now support President Trump.

Melissa Axelson, an Eveleth resident whose husband is employed by a mining company, told CNN her thoughts about the Democratic party, “I think they’ve changed, I see conservative candidates seem to be more for the working person.”
