In one of the final primary races of the 2024 cycle, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) avoided the ignominious fate of Reps. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and Cori Bush (D-MO) by easily winning renomination, allowing Congress’ left-wing “Squad” to heave a sigh of relief.

In two highly publicized races, Bowman and Bush fell to primary challengers by wide margins, a shocking result for two high-profile incumbents who are associated with that small group of far-left lawmakers. The group also includes Omar and Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Summer Lee (D-PA), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). All of the members have been among the most vocal critics of Israel and, at times, have even offered tacit endorsements of the terrorist group Hamas.
