Good. Glad to see big money can’t take every seat it wants. Especially when this one would’ve gone to a right winger posing as a Democrat.

Congratulations to Ilhan Omar for the victory.

She was more popular and had much better constituent services than Cori Bush or Jamal Bowman did, that’s why no outside money could unseat her

Ilhan is a fighter, and despite most of her bills never getting anywhere, she’s put real work into legislating. She also works hard in committee and has a great online presence. Her perspective might seem harsh to some but she’s an important perspective to have in our government.

Glad to see at least some independent voices in Congress remain.

Just a reminder that she once tweeted this: “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel”
She’s an antisemite using classic antisemitic tropes. Sad she’s still in congress.

Shocked she won tbh. Feels like every single progressive not named AOC was toast this election.

Good for her.

This what I meant by saying biden would win. Everyone didn’t think so due to the polls but Omar had baggage as well and she won despite all the naysayers. Kamala is going to win by a landslide!!

Cool, I generally find her to be palatable for a “squad” member.

bruh, Nikki Haley has almost 30% of the vote in the GOP primary

Didn’t she outspend him 5:1? That doesn’t sound like “big money”

Voted down the infrastructure bill and still got re-elected, much to the chagrin of the some of the commenters here

Awesome. Get fucked AIPAC

I’m relieved. Not going to lie.
This is case example for how progressives can run their campaign and not being defeated by AIPAC and other big money interests.

Crap. So tired of the far left wingnuts making it so easy to attack the Dems.

Such a disappointment. No antisemites in the Congress, please!

Greatest news I’ve heard all day.
She’s a real one & democrats would do well to keep her around.

Happy for Rep Omar.

Her father helped commit a genocide that has a higher body count than the war in Gaza currently does, and she parades him around the campaign trail instead of turning him in to face justice. It’s disgusting that we let this woman into our highest legislative body.

Minnesota is awful nowadays

It’s a shame. It’s alright, we still have 2026. Tlaib and Omar don’t belong in Congress.
