FARGO (KFGO) – Coming off what she had hoped would’ve been a stronger performance in Nevada, US Sen. Amy Klobuchar brought her campaign to Fargo, speaking to more than 500 people on the NDSU Campus. She hardly mentioned the other Democrats in the presidential race, choosing instead to hone in on President Trump.
“It’s about being able to talk to each other again, it is about stopping the mean tweets at 4 in the morning and stopping the drama,” Klobuchar told the crowd. “It is about having a country where once again we can be the beacon of democracy for the rest of the world, there is so much at stake in this election,” she said.
Not everyone in the crowd was a Klobuchar supporter. Wearing a Make America Great Again baseball cap was freshman computer science major Brian Friedt of Harvey, North Dakota.
“I mean she’s a famous person, doesn’t come to Fargo, North Dakota alot so, I think it’s just cool, and its a good thing to just kinda hear some of the Democratic ideas and get some of the opinions from the other side.” Friedt says his mind is already made up; he’ll again support President Trump.
Klobuchar headed to Oklahoma City and Little Rock, AK after leaving Fargo as she campaigns ahead of the South Carolina primary and “Super Tuesday” next month.
