Paul Ryan to hold Sunday rally in Minnesota
Paul Ryan, the Republican nominee for Vice President, will campaign in Minnesota on Sunday.
The Romney campaign is sending out an e-mail about the event to supporters. It was also confirmed by a top Republican official in Minnesota who has knowledge of the event. Ryan will hold a campaign rally at the Minneapolis St. Paul Airport at 3:30 on Sunday afternoon.
The event comes just two days before Election Day and shows the importance the Romney campaign is putting on Minnesota.
Recent polls show President Obama with a lead in the state but Romney's campaign and other Minnesota Republicans have argued that the race is tightening.
