Campaigns make final push in Minnesota ahead of Super Tuesday

Super Tuesday is the next stop on the presidential primary path, and will award the lion's share of pledged delegates.

MINNEAPOLIS — While no democratic candidates for president were in Minnesota Saturday, several of their campaigns are hosting events in the state to encourage Minnesotans to vote on Super Tuesday. 

Senator Amy Klobuchar's campaign announced a bus tour this weekend, which will make stops throughout the state. Senator Tina Smith, Rep. Dean Phillips, and Rep. Angie Craig are appearing at stops along the tour to encourage people to vote for Klobuchar.

"She's the right person to be president. She can actually get things done. That was the biggest thing that drew me to her," said Pat Meyer at a get out the vote rally at Klobuchar's campaign field office in Edina.

Klobuchar, meanwhile, campaigned in other Super Tuesday states Saturday. A recent Star Tribune/MPR News poll shows Klobuchar leads the democratic candidates in Minnesota for Super Tuesday with 29 percent of the vote.

Senator Elizabeth Warren's campaign hosted actress and activist Ashley Judd at Common Roots Cafe in Minneapolis Saturday, where Judd voiced support for Warren and encouraged others to vote for her. 

"We're going to leave it all on the floor for Elizabeth Warren in these last few days," she told the crowd.

Pete Buttigieg's campaign is hosting two get out the vote rallies in Minnesota Sunday. The first is at 1:30 p.m. at St. Paul's Sun Ray Library. Another will be held later that afternoon in Rochester. Buttigieg will not be present.

Senator Bernie Sanders will be in St. Paul Monday. He's holding a campaign rally at the St. Paul RiverCentre at 7:30 p.m.

Meanwhile, in Savage Saturday, the RNC hosted what they call Trump Victory Leadership Initiative Training, training volunteers to help spread the party's message and get President Trump re-elected.
