Ilhan Omar wins Minnesota House primary over challenger Despite other 'Squad' members losing their own primaries, Rep. Ilhan Omar retains seat.

QUINTUPLE BYPASS The Associated Press called the race for Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar, who defeated her chief opponent, former Minneapolis city councilman Don Samuels, in her primary Tuesday night.

Omar, a member of the progressive House group known as the "Squad," has been a fierce critic of Israel's actions in the Gaza War. She dodged the same fate that befell Representatives Cori Bush of Missouri and Jamaal Bowman of New York. Both of those races were fueled by the super PAC for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, called the United Democracy Project.

He ran on a more centrist platform than Omar and, as often as not, called her comments about the Gaza War divisive.

He blasted her, too, for voting against President Biden's bipartisan infrastructure bill. Omar pointed to the congressional earmarks she said she brought home to her hometown.

She had the backing of the Democratic Party of Minnesota, and she also had the financial advantage over Samuels. Her candidacy also drew national politicians, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, who staged a campaign event at her alma mater, high school.

On that contest for the Minnesota 5th congressional district, groups supporting Israel weren't major funders on federal campaign records. Samuels told the outlet that after Rep. Bush's loss in St. Louis County last week, he had a surge of donations. Addressing voters in downtown Minneapolis in the middle of Tuesday afternoon, Samuels said, "We had about $200,000 in random donations after Cori [Bush] lost." "Now, this country and other places are shifting from extreme leftism to a more cooperative approach," Samuels said.

The general election will probably offer little real opposition to Omar. Democrats have a more than two-to-one voter registration edge in Minnesota's 5th congressional district. Federal campaign records indicate pro-Israel groups were not major financial players in Minnesota 5th congressional district race. After Rep. Bush went down in St. Louis last week, Samuels said it was like a dam burst with donations. "After Cori lost we got about $200,000 in unsolicited donations," Samuels said to voters in downtown Minneapolis yesterday afternoon. "What's happening here and across the country is a movement away from the far left and toward a more collaborative approach," Samuels said.

In the general election, Omar won't be very contested. In Minnesota's 5th congressional district, many more Democrats than Republicans are likely to be registered voters.
