Ilhan Omar's Very Big, Very Important Win
Briefly

"We run the politics of joy," Omar announced to her supporters at her victory party in Minneapolis. "We know it is joyful to want to live in a peaceful and equitable world."
Omar beat her rival, former Minneapolis City Council member Don Samuels, by 14 points - a huge expansion of her winning margin from 2022, when Samuels came within two points of defeating her.
For 10 months, she has declared, 'I'm committed to peace and a prompt ceasefire.' She was also an original sponsor of the House ceasefire resolution..."
Omar's big win should be big news. After all, just last week, the narrow defeat of Cori Bush... was treated as a major political development.
