The Minnesota Star Tribune is highlighting Minnesota's Democratic Farmer-Labor party endorsement of state Sen. Omar Fateh for Minneapolis mayor over incumbent Jacob Frey, and asking if Fateh will become"The Mamdani of Minneapolis.""Three years ago, Minnesota Sen. Omar Fateh was in the hot seat, sitting through a Senate ethics investigation into an alleged quid pro quo with a Somali news outlet," Minneapolis City Hall reporter Deena Winterwrote in a Tuesday article entitled, "The Mamdani of Minneapolis? Omar Fateh brings the lefts insurgency to mayors race.""On Saturday,Fateh was riding high, as Minneapolis Democrats endorsed him to be the citys next mayor over incumbent two-term Mayor Jacob Frey," Winter wrote.THE PLOT TO STOP MAMDANI: DEMOCRATS SCRAMBLE TO BLOCK FAR-LEFT TAKEOVER IN NEW YORK"Now the race begins in earnest, reflecting a conflict thats been brewing for years," she continued. "A comparatively moderate Democratic mayor against a rising young progressive whos part of the ascendant Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) wing of the party an election that is likely to draw national attention and money while potentially upending the power dynamic in City Hall."Fateh, the son of Somali immigrants, says on hiscampaign biography page that he is the first Somali American and the first Muslim to be in the Minnesota Senate. He was elected to the Minnesota Senate in 2020 and is running on raising the city's minimum wage, increasing the supply of affordable housing, and fighting to stopwhat he calls the "cycle of the MPDs violence and brutality."Winter likened Fateh toNew York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, who won the Democratic primary in the citys race for mayor.Mamdani, a self-avowed democratic socialist, espouses such policies as government-run grocery stores and widespread rent freezes.SANDERS ENDORSES SOCIALIST MAMDANI IN MOVE TO BLOCK CUOMO IN NYC MAYORAL RACE"Fateh has drawn national attention since Mamdanis win, with some calling him the Mamdani of Minneapolis,"Winter wrote.In her piece, Winter noted thatFateh "supports a ban on the police interacting with Immigration and Customs Enforcement," and highlighted that he "called a June federal drug raid in south Minneapolis blatant fascism, accused MPD of cooperating with ICE, and said it would be unconscionable for police to help with crowd control at an ICE raid."Winter reported thatFreys campaign is challenging the results of the DFL endorsement, saying they are "questioning why only 578 votes were recorded on the first ballot, even though over 1,000 delegates and alternates were checked in."Fox News Digital reached out toFateh and Freys campaign for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.
