Rep. Ilhan Omar won her Democratic primary in Minnesota Tuesday night, becoming the third member of “the Squad,” four high-profile progressive women in their first term, to beat back primary challengers.
“If this election showed us anything, it’s the lengths that those seeking to uphold systems of oppression will go to stop a movement that wants to put power back in the hands of people,” Omar said in a statement following her victory. “But in Minnesota, we know that organized people will always beat organized money. Tonight, our movement didn’t just win. We earned a mandate for change. Despite outside efforts to defeat us, we once again broke turnout records.
Ocasio-Cortez was the first to face voters in late June for her seat in New York’s 14th District, which includes parts of Bronx and Queens. Her primary opponent was former CNBC broadcaster Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, who was running to Ocasio-Cortez’s right with the support of Wall Street and the traditionally pro-Republican Chamber of Commerce.
On August 4, voters in Tlaib’s majority-Black district in Detroit went to the polls to decide between her and Detroit City Council president Brenda Jones, who is Black. Tlaib had barely defeated Jones in the six-way 2018 primary to fill the open seat, winning by under a thousand votes. The freshman had rankled centrist Democrats during her first term, booing a mention of Hillary Clinton at a Bernie Sanders campaign event and refusing to endorse Joe Biden.
Ugh. Ew. Stupid people keep putting stupid people in office!
Another liberal guilty of money laundering and nobody cares. Been happening for decades.
