Omar is facing off against challenger Don Samuels in a closely watched rematch of their race last election cycle.
US Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), one of the fiercest critics of Israel in Congress, is running to defend her seat in a Democratic Party primary on Tuesday after two high-profile primary losses of fellow progressive House members with similar views on the Jewish state.
Omar, a member of the so-called “Squad” of anti-Israel, far-left lawmakers in the US House of Representatives — is facing off against challenger Don Samuels in a closely watched rematch of their race last election cycle.
In 2022, Omar narrowly beat Samuels in the Democratic primary by less than 2,500 votes in a relatively low-turnout election.
