She had the incumbent advantage and was predicted to retain her seat based on recent polling. Now, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has won her primary in Minnesota's 5th Congressional District.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has won the primary for the Democratic nomination for her seat representing Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, almost certainly giving her two more years in the House, Decision Desk HQ projects.
Omar fended off a challenge from former Minneapolis City Council member Don Samuels, who nearly upset her two years ago in a primary. In 2022, she won by less than 2,500 votes in a race where more than 110,000 total votes were cast.
Though the initial vote tallies came in notably slower in MN-05 than other congressional districts, as of this writing, with 99 percent of the votes counted, Omar has secured a 13.3-point victory over Samuels, with a 16,000 vote differential.

Omar will now face Republican challenger Dalia Al-Aqidi in November, but with a D+30 district, should win handily. Unlike fellow "Squad" members Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and Cori Bush (D-MO), it appears Omar will be returning to Washington, D.C. for the 119th Congress.

My shocked face. 🤮😴
Once again, evil triumphs.
A primary..
...against 4 no names.
say again, a primary,
Unfortunately.
It appears a Somali will challenge in the general....
Dalia Al-Aqidi.......which would be brave....ran unopposed
If it was close, the other guy could have demanded a recount.
This American hatin -itch should be in jail for violating our immigration laws by marrying her brother to get him her, and not a member of Congress. But then again, she is a Democrat.
Thw Republican is Iraqi.
Two-tier ‘just-us’ system strikes again.
I’d love to see her defeated - hell I’d love to see her dePORTED! But she’s small potatoes, just a rotten one.
Maybe they just learned to be more efficient in counting the votes in Mogadishu, and Omar brought those efficiency reforms with her to the United States.

We can thank RINO GW Bush for bringing 10,000 Somalis to Minnesota.
16k more republicans and she’s out. Not that many of them.
They did some super-fast counting over there in MN-5 where Omar was running.
Mogadishu Style!
-PJ
Muslim treachery to the US, and vote fraud will ensure she gets *elected*.
All as democrats plan.
God needs to take her out. At this point, only He can stop this atrocity.
As I’ve said. Omar IS a CIA asset. She will never be defeated.
As frustrating as it is to watch this miscarriage of justice occur, when she stands before God, she will not be above the law or justice.
Satan will not be able to protect her.
No kidding.
That’s beyond disgusting.
