Trump-Musk interview updates: Trump says he’ll flee to Venezuela if he loses election claiming it’s a ‘far safer place’

Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar, a progressive member of the House and part of “The Squad”, will try to avoid a similar fate met by two close allies in her primary election on Tuesday.

Omar, who has represented Minnesota’s 5th congressional district since 2018, is facing off, again, against Don Samuels – a Minneapolis City Council member whom she narrowly defeated two years ago.

All eyes will be on Tuesday’s primary to see how Omar fares against Samuels given two other members of “The Squad” – the group of progressive left-wing young representatives in the House – have faced defeats in their districts.

Last week, Missouri Congresswoman Cori Bush lost her primary to a local prosecutor in an expensive and contentious race.

New York Congressman Jamaal Bowman also lost his seat in the most expensive House primary in history thanks to an onslaught of funding to his challenger.

Both losses were, in part, attributed to Bush and Bowman’s support of a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict – something Omar has also been an outspoken advocate of.
