  • Omar avoided the fate of two fellow Squad members. Rep. Cori Bush lost the Democratic nomination in her Missouri district last week, and Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York lost his primary in June. Both faced well-funded challengers and millions of dollars in spending by the United Democracy Project, a super political action committee affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which appeared to sit out the Minnesota race.

    Omar reported raising about $6.2 million. Samuels raised about $1.4 million.

    While I’m happy that Omar won reelection, I really wish we could get money out of politics so that this wasn’t about who can raise more funds.
