Main article: 1892 United States presidential election
The 1892 United States presidential election in Minnesota took place on November 8, 1892. All contemporary 44 states were part of the 1892 United States presidential election . Minnesota voters chose nine electors to the Electoral College , which selected the president and vice president .
Minnesota was won by the Republican nominees, incumbent President Benjamin Harrison of Indiana and his running mate Whitelaw Reid of New York .
Campaign
The Minnesota Democratic Party initially announced that it would not conduct a fusion campaign, but later withdrew four of its electors in favor of Populist electors on October 10.
With 5.31 percent of the popular vote, Minnesota proved to be Prohibition Party candidate John Bidwell ’s best performance as well as the only state where he broke 5 percent of the vote. This is the closest the Democrats came to winning Minnesota in the 19th century.
