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.

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.

What had been a polarizing election for Minneapolis mayor has exploded into a full-blown political crisis for the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar and a group of prominent Minneapolis Democrats Thursday released a statement condemning the state party for revoking the DFL convention endorsement of mayoral candidate Sen.
