U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar, a prominent critic of Israel, has secured the Democratic nomination for a fourth term, marking a notable triumph for the progressive faction within her party.
The Minnesota legislator, one of four progressive women whose 2018 election created the group known as The Squad, is expected to easily win the November 5 election.
Omar’s victory comes after fellow Squad members Representatives Jamaal Bowman of New York and Cori Bush of Missouri lost their party primaries to opponents who had won substantial support from the pro-Israel fundraising group AIPAC.
