Ilhan Omar Romps in Minneapolis Democratic Primary, While Tim Walz and Keith Ellison Win Statewide
Minnesota state Rep. Ilhan Omar scored a convincing victory in the state’s 5th Congressional District on Tuesday night, emerging with a nearly 18-point win over former House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher.
Attorney General Lori Swanson, after leading in polls for the Democratic nomination, lost badly, finishing third behind U.S. Rep. Tim Walz — who secured the nomination — and Erin Murphy, a progressive who finished surprisingly strong.
