Ilhan Omar Wins Democratic Primary in Minnesota

Vice President Kamala Harris is set to unveil her economic plan in North Carolina, marking her first significant policy rollout since becoming the Democratic nominee, while former President Donald Trump also aims to recenter his campaign with remarks on the economy in the same state. Trump criticized the Biden-Harris administration's handling of the economy, posing the question of whether voters are better off now compared to his presidency. Meanwhile, Rep. Ilhan Omar won her Democratic primary in Minnesota, securing 56% of the vote against challenger Don Samuels, who garnered 43%. Omar's victory contrasts with recent defeats of other progressive members of the Squad, reflecting a lack of financial backing from pro-Israel groups in her race. She emphasized her commitment to progressive values, including healthcare and housing rights, and will face Republican Dalia Al-Aqidi in the general election. Samuels expressed disappointment over his loss, highlighting the impact of financial resources in political contests.
