The president has been pushing to win the battleground state that he narrowly lost to then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016. In his new bid, he is citing  Democratic leadership's response to the social unrest and an uptick in violence as his reasoning for a potential victory.

"Remember, Minneapolis was burning down. Day after day, and I'd call. 'Let us come in. Let us come in,'" Trump said of deploying the National Guard amid unrest after George Floyd's May 25 death. "Anyway, they finally came in. How long did it take? About a half an hour. ... Then, they just walk forward, and that was the end of that. And I think we're going to win the state of Minnesota because of it, I think."

The Real Clear Politics average shows Biden leading the incumbent by 9 percentage points.
