St. Cloud Times, 11/16/2020
Voters in St. Cloud's western suburb Waite Park switched from red to blue in the presidential election, going for Democrat Joe Biden this year after choosing Republican Donald Trump in 2016. 
The same thing happened in St. Cloud by a substantial margin. 
As was the case across Minnesota, increased turnout in St. Cloud and Waite Park helped Biden, and many voters who chose third-party candidates in 2016 went with the former vice president this year. 
President-elect Biden won St. Cloud by 9%. In 2016, President Trump won St. Cloud with a 1.75% lead over Democrat Hillary Clinton. 
Biden won Waite Park with a 3% margin this year, compared to 2016 when Trump won with a 13% margin of victory.
