GOP's Jason Rarick wins tight special election for Minnesota Senate seat

 

The win expanded the GOP's narrow majority in the chamber and ended more than two decades of representation in the district by Democrats and members of the Lourey family.

The win means Republicans will expand their narrow majority in the state Senate by one vote. The 35-32 split may make it more difficult for Gov. Tim Walz and Democrats in control of the state House to pass proposals key to their agenda, including bills related to guns, heath care and a gas tax, this session.

Read the president's entire State of the Union address

 

Here are his prepared remarks, provided by the White House:

 

TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES:

 

Madam Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, the First Lady of the United States, and my fellow Americans:

 

We meet tonight at a moment of unlimited potential. As we begin a new Congress, I stand here ready to work with you to achieve historic breakthroughs for all Americans.

 

Millions of our fellow citizens are watching us now, gathered in this great chamber, hoping that we will govern not as two parties but as one Nation.

 

The agenda I will lay out this evening is not a Republican agenda or a Democrat agenda. It is the agenda of the American people.
