On November 28, 2020, members of the Proud Boys joined a "Stop the Steal" march along Summit Avenue in St. Paul, passing the Minnesota Governor's Residence at 1006 Summit Avenue as supporters of President Trump disputed Joe Biden's certified victory in the presidential election.

The march drew armed men in tactical gear and body armor alongside flag-carrying demonstrators, while counter-protesters gathered outside the residence's fence. Chemical irritant drifted through portions of the crowd as the two groups pressed against each other on the sidewalk.

St. Paul police and Minnesota State Patrol troopers deployed in riot gear along Summit Avenue, with officers organized into strike teams and troopers carrying less-lethal launchers and batons to manage the crowd. The November 28 rally was one of dozens of Stop the Steal demonstrations held across the country in the weeks following the election.
