Congresswoman Ilhan Omar won the Democratic primary in Minnesota's Fifth Congressional District, securing more than 80% of the vote. Omar, a Somali-born Muslim, is known for her anti-Israel stance and has previously claimed that Jewish students 'support genocide.' Her daughter was one of several students suspended for participating in an anti-Israel protest. Omar entered the House in 2018 during Trump's presidency, aligning with the radical wing of the Democratic Party, which included Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley. Trump then said they should 'go back to their countries.' The victory is seen as a continuation of the anti-Israel wave in the US.
