The '''2020 United States presidential election in Minnesota''' was held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, as part of the [[2020 United States presidential election]] in which all 50 states plus the [[Washington, D.C.|District of Columbia]] participated.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-elections-key-dates-midterms-2020-presidential-house-congress-senate-a8472821.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180802011326/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-elections-key-dates-midterms-2020-presidential-house-congress-senate-a8472821.html |archive-date=2018-08-02 |url-access=limited |url-status=live|title=US elections key dates: When are the 2018 midterms and the 2020 presidential campaign?|last=Kelly|first=Ben|date=August 13, 2018|work=[[The Independent]]|access-date=January 3, 2019}}</ref> [[Minnesota]] voters chose electors to represent them in the [[United States Electoral College|Electoral College]] via a popular vote, pitting the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]]'s nominee, incumbent President [[Donald Trump]], and running mate [[Vice President of the United States|Vice President]] [[Mike Pence]] against the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]] nominee, former Vice President [[Joe Biden]], and his running mate California Senator [[Kamala Harris]].

Prior to the election, 15 out of 16 news organizations predicting the election projected Minnesota as leaning towards Biden. Biden ultimately carried the state by a 7.12% margin, significantly improving over [[Hillary Clinton]]'s narrow 1.52% margin in [[2016 United States presidential election in Minnesota|2016]]. Biden's win marked the twelfth consecutive Democratic presidential win in the state, which has not voted for a Republican for President since [[1972 United States presidential election in Minnesota|1972]]. |

Biden flipped four counties Trump carried in 2016: [[Clay County, Minnesota|Clay]], [[Nicollet County, Minnesota|Nicollet]], [[Blue Earth County, Minnesota|Blue Earth]], and [[Winona County, Minnesota|Winona]], all of which were won by [[Barack Obama]] in [[2008 United States presidential election in Minnesota|2008]] and [[2012 United States presidential election in Minnesota|2012]]. The key to Biden's success was his strong performance in the [[Minneapolis–Saint Paul|Twin Cities]] metropolitan area,<ref>{{Cite news|date=2020-11-04|title=Trump got more votes in Minnesota in 2020 than he did in 2016. But Biden got way more than Clinton did|language=en-US|work=MinnPost|url=https://www.minnpost.com/elections/2020/11/trump-got-more-votes-in-minnesota-in-2020-than-he-did-in-2016-but-biden-got-way-more-than-clinton-did/|access-date=2020-11-11}}</ref> where he outperformed both Obama and Clinton. His vote share in [[Hennepin County, Minnesota|Hennepin County]], home of [[Minneapolis]], was the highest of any presidential nominee since Republican [[Theodore Roosevelt]] in [[1904 United States presidential election in Minnesota|1904]]. He also improved on Clinton's performance in the [[Iron Range]],<ref>{{Cite news|date=2020-11-04|title=Despite attention, Trump gained little ground on Iron Range|language=en-US|work=The Star Tribune|url=https://www.startribune.com/despite-attention-trump-gained-little-ground-on-iron-range/572965372/|access-date=2020-11-11}}</ref> although his performance in the region was still well below what Democrats had historically earned between the [[New Deal coalition|New Deal realignment]] and the 2016 election. In addition, Biden managed to flip [[Minnesota's 2nd congressional district]], based in the Twin Cities' southern suburbs and exurbs, from Trump. |
