Good morning. Impeachment hearings resume in Washington today, and you can follow them on MPR News stations or MPRNews.org. Meanwhile, here's your Digest. 1. Trump, farm economy loom in 1st District rematch. On the eastern edge of Minnesota’s 1st Congressional District outside a grocery store along the abbreviated downtown St. Charles strip, Jim Decker talked politics. “I’m getting a little bit fed up with Democrats.” St. Charles is a town of fewer than 4,000 people in southern Minnesota about half an hour from Rochester. Decker, 74, said he’ll vote to reelect Republican Congressman Jim Hagedorn next year.“The Democrat Party has gotten too liberal for me anyway. It’s just like they want to give everything away and immigrants come into the country and they just want to hand them everything. I just don’t go for that anymore.” Hagedorn says that sentiment prevails in the 1st District, which Donald Trump won by nearly 15 points in 2016. Democrat Dan Feehan said he is optimistic about his chances against Hagedorn next year even though he lost in the 2018 midterms that gave victories to so many Democrats that they won control of the House. Conditions are different now, particularly in the vast farm economy, Feehan said. MPR News 2. Kandiyohi OKs refugee resettlements. In a first for the state, a divided Kandiyohi County Board of Commissioners voted Tuesday to accept more refugees into its increasingly diverse community. The measure comes months after President Trump signed an executive order requiring state and local governments to give permission for refugee resettlement efforts to continue in their communities. It also portends the debate other county boards might be faced with as a federal deadline looms. Before Tuesday’s 3-2 vote in Willmar, Minn., the county seat of Kandiyohi, some commissioners expressed confusion about the policy, as well as hesitation about the vote. Trump issued the executive order in September, but county officials say they didn’t receive notice until late November and were asked to make a quick decision by Dec. 25. MPR News 3. That was then, this is now, Trump campaign says of 2018 endorsement. President Donald Trump's re-election campaign is demanding that a Republican candidate for Congress in Minnesota stop using an old presidential tweet to promote his primary campaign. "Your 2020 campaign's use of President Trump's 2018 endorsement, in any form, unfairly confuses voters," an attorney for the Trump campaign wrote in a Nov. 25 letter to Dave Hughes, a candidate for the Republican nomination in Minnesota's Seventh Congressional District. Hughes, a retired Air Force major from Karlstad, won Trump's backing last year to challenge U.S. Rep. Collin Peterson, a Democrat who won the race by four percentage points. Trump weighed in on his Twitter account in September of 2018, writing: "Dave has my total endorsement." This year, Hughes is one of five Republicans running in the western Minnesota district, which Trump carried by a big margin in 2016. Star Tribune 4. Court won’t hear appeal in UMD discrimination case. The Minnesota Supreme Court has declined to review the dismissal of a state lawsuit filed against the University of Minnesota Duluth by three former women's sports coaches alleging discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The high court on Tuesday turned down a final appeal from former women's hockey coach Shannon Miller, former women's basketball coach Annette Wiles and former softball coach and women's hockey operations director Jen Banford. Their case was dismissed last year after a judge ruled that the statute of limitations had expired, among other grounds. The women filed a petition for review on Oct. 3 after the Minnesota Court of Appeals declined to overturn the district court ruling in the university's favor. The Supreme Court's denial came in a one-page order without elaboration, as is standard practice. Duluth News Tribune 5. Walker not ruling out a return to Wisconsin politics. Former Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker says he won’t run for office again before 2025, but he “wouldn’t rule anything out” after that. Walker also says he hopes Rebecca Kleefisch, his former lieutenant governor, runs for governor in 2022. He says she would be a “hell of a great governor.” Walker commented on his political future Tuesday during an event at the Milwaukee Press Club. Walker was governor for eight years before losing last year to Democrat Tony Evers, ending his 26-year run in elected office. The Associated Press |
