2024 Elections

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Congratulations, Senator Klobuchar!

Ilhan Omar clinches victory in closely watched primary after two losses for the progressive 'Squad'

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., beat back a more moderate challenger on Tuesday, capping off a series of primaries facing the progressive “Squad” that has been the target of millions of dollars from pro-Israel groups.

Omar, a third-term lawmaker, won out against Don Samuels, former Minneapolis City Council member. She is expected to win reelection in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, which is solidly blue.

Samuels narrowly lost to Omar by just over 2,400 votes in what was a closer-than-expected primary challenge in 2022. United Democracy Project, a super PAC affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, poured $350,000 into Samuels' bid that year in a last-minute push to defeat Omar.

But this year, the PAC has largely steered clear of investing into Omar’s race – unlike in other recent primaries.

The group targeted Reps. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y. and Cori Bush, D-Mo., for their public positions against Israel’s government and actions in Gaza after spending at least $14.5 million and almost $9 million in their respective races. Both lost to more moderate challengers, and progressives have criticized the heavy role outside spending played in both Bowman and Bush’s losses.

While also a vocal critic of Israel’s conduct in the war in Gaza, Omar was on significantly different footing compared to her progressive colleagues, who were also dogged by their own scandals....

I. Omar: 67,524 56.2%
D. Samuels: 51,581 42.9%

Sad thing about that fruit stand is that it's the owner's name, and he had that name before there was "Trump." Of course, up toward Ramona where the stand is, he might possibly also be a "Trumper" but who knows. In addition to that guy's name, Trump has messed up other names. Who wants to learn to play a trumpet? I'll bet some bridge players like to bid "4 no trump" though.

He's had 9+ years to discourage confusion by adding his first name. He may be a trumper.

Yeah, probably so. There would be no down side to changing the name - locals would know about it anyway and tourists wouldn't know the difference. It's a little stand beside the road that they could call anything. Likely trumper.

Who has even said before that "Trump is fighting for womens' rights"? Certainly not him.

She otherwise sounds like a moron, but to quote Zuck that was pretty "badass". It's not Teddy giving a whole speech after being shot in the chest, but still . . .
