At Issue: Nov. 8 — 1-on-1 with Amy Klobuchar, recount looms in CD1 race

This week on “At Issue,” Chief Political Reporter Tom Hauser looks at the results of Minnesota’s history-making November election.

Minnesota voters elected Amy Klobuchar as Minnesota’s first female governor, securing a fifth consecutive term for Democrats. The governor-elect joins Hauser for a one-on-one interview.

The election also sent Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan to the U.S. Senate, making her the first Native American woman elected to the chamber. Democrats also won back control of the Minnesota House and Senate, giving the DFL full control of state government.

Plus, the race for Minnesota’s 1st Congressional District remains too close to call. Democrat Jake Johnson leads incumbent Republican Brad Finstad by 323 votes, with a recount expected later this month.
