(Burnsville, MN) – President Donald Trump is scheduled to make his first official White House visit to Minnesota Monday, Tax Day.
After stumping at campaign rallies in Duluth and Rochester last year, the visit marks President Trump’s first stop in the Twin Cities metro. He’ll be visiting Nuss Trucking and Equipment in Burnsville, part of a congressional district that flipped blue in the last election.
The President is expected to host a round table discussion featuring business leaders from Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Florida.
There are questions about how much Trump is benefiting politically from the federal tax overhaul, his signature legislative accomplishment.
An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll last week showed that most Americans don’t think they even got a tax cut. Just 17% of those polled believed their taxes went down. Tax preparer H&R Block said in a report last week that most Americans are undergoing a “confusing tax experience” this season.
Paul Gazelka, the top Republican in Minnesota’s state Senate, said Trump is coming to Minnesota because he realizes the state is “in play.”
But U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, one of many Democrats vying to run against Trump, says the president’s tax cuts added trillions of dollars to the nation’s debt and helped the wealthy more than anyone else.
