Ilhan Omar faces Democratic primary challenge from candidate hitting her 'missteps'
Fox News
Former Minneapolis City Council member Don Samuels announced that he will once against try to unseat Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., in the 2024 Democratic primary.
Omar won re-election twice despite making comments in her first term that were widely criticized for invoking antisemitic tropes and suggesting Jewish Americans have divided loyalties.

But Omar, a Somali American and Muslim, has come under renewed fire for condemning the Israeli government’s handling of its war against Hamas.
"We have to remember that Israel is our ally," Samuels said of the conflict on WCCO. "Hamas is in fact a terrorist organization. But our number one allies are justice and peace."
