We’ll dig into the results of this week’s local and national elections, including how Trump’s performance was stronger in Minnesota this year than back in 2016.

And our neighbors in Wisconsin elected a both Republican president and a Democratic senator for the first time since 1968.

The Minnesota House is facing a historic tie between DFLers and Republicans. We’ll learn more about that.

Somali language fluency is rapidly declining in Minnesota, even though it’s still the third most common language spoken in the state. One children’s author is keeping the language alive.

Plus today is Cathy Wurzer’s last day as host of Minnesota Now. It’s been an amazing three years! Listen for a special conversation with our fabulous new host, Nina Moini.

Our Minnesota Music Minute was “You are There” by Connie Evingson and our Song of the Day was “Capitalism Blues” by Webster.
