If I could I'd vote for him tomorrow. But Democrats just have to concentrate on making sure the states have midterm elections and that MN can't be the felon's pretext for stopping them.

Since he knows that, as in the November election, that Republicans stand to lose big - and that he'll likely lose control of the House and possibly the Senate. That's why the protests that are popping up all over, especially and understandably, in Minnesota, need to remain peaceful, since we know that Trump would use any excuse. And if he was a normal human, he'd understand that sending ICE to major cities is causing the protests, and not the other way around.
