Minneapolis Mayor Frey Loses Democratic Endorsement | JQJO

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who led the city during the 2020 BLM riots, lost the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party endorsement to Omar Fateh, a Somali-American socialist and state senator. Fateh secured over 60% of the delegate vote, despite Frey's campaign alleging irregularities in the election process. Frey's supporters protested, citing the limited delegate participation. Fateh's platform includes rent stabilization, affordable housing, and higher taxes on the wealthy, contrasting with Frey's approach to police reform following the 2020 events.
