Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar has secured her reelection in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, defeating her Republican challenger, Dalia Al-Aqidi. This victory marks Omar's third term representing Minnesota in the House of Representatives.
Omar, a prominent member of the 'Squad,' emerged victorious in the heavily-Democrat district, maintaining her position in Congress. She was one of the few 'Squad' members to succeed in the Democrat primary for the Congressional District held in August.
The electoral race also witnessed another 'Squad' member facing a primary challenge. Don Samuels, Abena McKenzie, and Nate Schluter vied for the opportunity to unseat Omar, with the aim of making her the third progressive group member to lose a primary challenge in this election cycle.
