'Squad' member Ilhan Omar survives tough Democratic primary in Minnesota

Freshman Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar on Tuesday clinched victory in her Democratic primary contest, defeating Antone Melton-Meaux who spent significantly more on TV advertising than the current congresswoman, according to Politico.

Omar is one of the four progressive female House members who comprise the so-called "The Squad," which also includes Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts.
