Ilhan Omar Defeats Centrist Democrat After Pro-Israel Groups Flooded Primary Race With Cash

Representative Ilhan Omar’s close win in the primary election gives soon-to-be incumbent progressives and Squad Democrats insight on future campaigns. The Majority Report crew discusses how Omar declined to debate opponent Don Samuels and did not place any TV ads; Samuels, on the other hand, raised much more money through PACs that are anti-labor and pro-settlement. The MR crew also talks about Jacob Fried, likely to primary for a seat in Congress in 2024.Show more

Last night Ilhan Omar won her primary election. I want to make that clear but it was a really way too close for comfort, and you know there seems to have been some strategic errors made by her campaign that I’m hopeful other progressive incumbents squad incumbents will learn from because we can't afford to lose Ilhan Omar. Ilhan Omar is- let's pull this up here this is these are the results Ilhan Omar is probably the best representative that we have and I love Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez but I- you know I don't want to rank anybody but Ilhan Omar’s bravery you put that up there with anybody. I mean charitably you could say they serve different roles with Ilhan being a little bit better at i think like say going after war criminals.
