Oct.23 -- Minnesota's 8th congressional district: it is one of a few Democrat-held seats in jeopardy of switching parties this election cycle. Voters there have only elected a Republican congressman once since 1947. Hillary Clinton won the state- but President Trump carried Minnesota-8 by 15 points in the 2016 election. And recent polls show Republican candidate Pete Stauber matching that 15-point lead over Democrat Joe Radinovich. A driving force behind the GOP jump? The president's steel and aluminum tariffs. The penalties on foreign metals are good for the mining business in the district also known as "The Iron Range."
