Rep. Ilhan Omar (D) is clinging to a 51%-48% lead over Don Samuels (D) in the #MN05 DFL primary, but Samuels is running out of real estate to make up that gap. Omar may prevail by a record thin margin.
Update on Rep.Omar who had to be worried….
Progressives ain’t in style much anymore…..

I’ve seen enough: Rep. Ilhan Omar (D) defeats Don Samuels in the #MN05 DFL primary. But it’s the closest call of her career.
