MINNEAPOLIS — Congresswoman Ilhan Omar came out swinging against the MN DFL after the state party decided to overturn the endorsement of progressive mayoral candidate Omar Fateh. The congresswoman called the decision "inexcusable" in a post on X.

The campaigns and supporters of the leading Minneapolis mayoral candidates, Jacob Frey and Omar Fateh, are speaking out in the wake of the state DFL’s decision to vacate the endorsement of Fateh.

Fateh, a democratic socialist, won the endorsement on July 19 at a Minneapolis DFL convention marked by difficulties and delays with the party’s electronic voting system.
