NPR: “Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar pulled off a win Tuesday night in her primary race against her main rival, former Minneapolis city councilman Don Samuels, according to a race call by the Associated Press.”
“Omar is one of the progressive House members known as the “Squad” and has been a sharp critic of how Israel has conducted its war in Gaza. She managed to avoid losses faced by fellow squad members, Reps. Cori Bush of Missouri and Jamaal Bowman of New York. Both primary opponents in those races were backed by the super PAC, United Democracy Project, the political arm of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.”
