Potential airspace shutdown, Kaohly Her wins St. Paul, Edmund Fitzgerald documentary & more: Nov. 5, 2025

Today’s episode of The Afternoon Shift with Adam Llorens and Maxx Fuller dives into the biggest headlines across Minnesota and beyond, blending live updates, local insight, and thoughtful conversation. St. Paul makes history as Kaohly Her is elected the city’s first woman and first Hmong-American mayor, defeating incumbent Melvin Carter III in a stunning upset. We look at what Her’s win means for the capital city — from public safety and housing priorities to how her leadership could reshape city hall and community engagement. Across the river, we break down Minneapolis and statewide election results, including key school board races and local ballot measures that signal where Minnesota voters stand heading into 2026. On the national front, we look at trends emerging from Tuesday’s vote — what’s shifting, what’s holding steady, and what it might preview for next year’s presidential cycle. As the 50th anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald approaches, a new documentary — Gales of November: Diving the Edmund Fitzgerald — revisits the tragedy that claimed 29 lives on Lake Superior. We explore how filmmakers gained rare access to the wreck site and why the ship’s story still resonates across the Great Lakes five decades later. And in sports, the Minnesota Twins officially introduce Derek Shelton as their new manager, marking a fresh start for the clubhouse and sparking early buzz about how his leadership could shape the team’s direction heading into next season.
