As New York City socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani soaks up nationwide news coverage, Fox News Digital spoke to a Republican congressional candidate in Minnesota who made the case that the Minneapolis mayoral race is equally important and involves similar candidates. " Minneapolis has really become a mini New York," Dalia Al-Aqidi, an Iraqi American Muslim who is running against Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, told Fox News Digital. " The thing is because Mamadani is taking or is getting all the attention from the media from everywhere. People aren't paying that much attention to what's happening here in Minneapolis." What’s happening in Minneapolis, Al-Aqidi says, is a "dangerous" movement by Democratic Socialists of America to advance economic and public safety policies in line with Mamdani’s platform in New York City.

"That victimhood, the master of victimhood is Ilhan Omar, and now Omar Fateh is surpassing her." Al-Aqidi referenced the devastating riots in Minneapolis during the summer of 2020 after George Floyd’s death, hollowing out chunks of the city’s urban infrastructure that have gone along with poor public school test scores, and an understaffed police force. " We're going to suffer more if Omar Fateh wins," Al-Aqidi said.
