Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) survived her high-profile primary challenge on Tuesday, paving the way for her to be elected to a fourth term next year despite other progressive “Squad” colleagues losing their reelection bids.
Omar defeated former former Minneapolis City Councilman Don Samuels, after garnering 56.2% of the vote with more than 95% of ballots tallied. The Associated Press called the race in her favor at 10:39 p.m. Eastern.
