The vast majority of them live in Minneapolis or Hennepin County, an area called Riverside, Cedar Riverside.
There's probably 50,000 to 60,000 of them right there.

In the last reelection, Tim Walz outspent the Republican candidates 15 million to 1.7 million.

If you look a little deeper, we have 87 counties.
Tim Walz only won the 13 metro counties.

If you look at the 74 counties that he lost, he got 37% of the vote, including losing his former congressional seat by eight points.
