The Minnesota House is poised on a political knife edge. Once the two vacancies are filled, the chamber is projected to stand at a 67 to 67 split between Democrats and Republicans if the DFL retains both seats. Such an outcome would again require a rare power sharing arrangement, with evenly divided committees and negotiated leadership roles.

The Senate is 34 D - 33 R.
