Chuck Todd scopes out Minnesota’s hot races

WASHINGTON — Minnesota will attract intense attention from national Republicans and an outsized amount of campaign cash this fall, according to NBC’s Chuck Todd.

“I think the priority of national Republicans is two-fold in Minnesota. I think priority number one is the House seats. Priority number two is the House seats!” the Meet the Press host quipped in an interview with KARE recently.
