* Senator Tom Bakk and Senator David Tomassoni formed a separate and independent caucus. Their party endorsement in the 2020 election was DFL. Both senators asserted that they hadn’t left the DFL party but rather are caucusing independent of the senate DFL caucus. However, during session they primarily caucused with the Republican caucus and chaired committees, so they are included with the Republican caucus for the purposes of the margin.
