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.

The Minnesota DFL Party has withdrawn its endorsement of Omar Fateh, a state senator and democratic socialist candidate for Minneapolis mayor, due to issues identified in the voting process at the recent convention.
