'Rep. Ilhan Omar narrowly won a tight primary race to retain the Democratic nomination for her Minnesota district'
Minnesota is holding primary elections on Tuesday. Polls closed at 8 p.m. local time and 9 p.m. ET. Follow along for live results.
Rep. Ilhan Omar narrowly won her bid for reelection in Minnesota's 5th Congressional District Democratic primary after besting challenger Don Samuels, who conceded on Tuesday night.
Half of the North Star State's eight-member House delegation is running unopposed in Tuesday's primaries, including Democratic Reps. Angie Craig and Dean Phillips (who is up by 20 points in the latest FiveThirtyEight polls), and Republican Reps. Tom Emmer and Michelle Fischbach.
The rub for two-term lawmaker Craig is that respected election handicapper the Cook Political Report has tagged the race as "Democratic Toss Up" in its competitive race tracker. Craig is involved in a rematch with her 2020 GOP challenger Tyler Kistner, whom she edged out by just 2 points the last time.
