“Dr. [Anthony] Fauci called for a mask mandate last week,” Biden stated. “This isn’t a political statement like those ugly folks over there beeping their horns. This is a patriotic duty for God’s sake.”

Biden made a visit to the state in an attempt to shore up support in the face of a determined push by President Donald Trump to win Minnesota, which he came close to doing in 2016.
