Omar’s race came down to the wire against a former member of the Minneapolis city council.
Lefty House Rep. Ilhan Omar survived a challenge from a centrist Democrat during Minnesota’s primary Tuesday night in a race that came down to the wire.
A member of the so-called liberal “Squad,” Omar came one step closer to earning a third term in Congress by topping Don Samuels, a former Minneapolis City Council member.Omar’s victory was slim, collecting just 50.5% of the casted votes against Samuels’ 48% in the four-way race with nearly 100% of votes counted.Samuels helped defeat a ballot question that would’ve replaced the Minneapolis police department with a new public safety unit.
The ally of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was first elected to the House in 2018 and then was re-elected in 2020. Minnesota 5th Congressional District candidate Don Samuels is greeted by supporters at his primary election night watch party on August 9, 2022.
