Minnesota state Senator Omar Fateh, a Democratic Socialist, secured his party's endorsement for Minneapolis mayor, defeating incumbent Jacob Frey. Fateh's victory follows a similar win by another democratic socialist in New York City, signaling a potential shift in progressive politics. Frey alleges flaws in the endorsement process and plans an appeal. Minneapolis uses ranked-choice voting, with the general election in November. Fateh, the first Somali American and Muslim state senator, campaigned on affordability and public services, facing recent racist and Islamophobic attacks.
