Minnesota Democratic Rep. Angie Craig has been re-elected to represent Minnesota’s 2nd District in what turned out to be a closely contested 2020 race. The Fox News Decision Desk called the race on Thursday after Republican challenger Tyler Kistner received 46% of the vote while Craig received 48.2% with 100% of precincts reporting. Craig unofficially declared victory on Wednesday while some votes were still being counted. Craig unseated former Republican Minnesota Rep. Jason Lewis, who lost Minnesota’s U.S. Senate race to freshman Democratic Sen. Tina Smith on Wednesday, in 2018. The first-time Republican candidate held rallies in every county in the 2nd District ahead of Election Day to attract more voters, the Star Tribune reported.
