Omar decries 'shameful' opponents in primary race
Following her Tuesday night primary victory, Rep. Ilhan Omar told supporters: “We run the politics of joy, because we know it is joyful to fight for your neighbors."
“We know it is joyful to want to live in a peaceful and equitable world,” she added, per ABC News' St. Paul affiliate KSTP.
Omar also had harsh words for her main primary opponent Don Samuels, though did not mention him by name. “I hope that they reflect in the shameful way they decided to divide our district and the incredible people we are grateful to represent,” she said of her challengers.
