Could Twin Cities host 2023 World Fair?

The Twin Cities recently played host to a Republican National Convention and a baseball All-Star Game, and will host a Super Bowl in a few years. But what about a World's Fair?

There is an effort underway being led by Minnesota's Secretary of State Mark Ritchie. He's not running for re-election and will continue to try and bring the World's Fair to Minnesota in 2023.

Ritchie says he's worked on the advisory committee with former Vice President Walter Mondale and others to bring the World Fair to Minnesota. Ritchie joins The Daily Circuit to talk about that effort.
