Oh, the pundits waxed on about how Rep. Ilhan Omar, a member of the progressive group of congresswomen known as “The Squad,” was facing serious trouble in the Minnesota Democratic primary on Tuesday. Oh, they waxed on about the money Antone Melton-Meaux, an attorney who also runs a mediation practice, had raised. Oh, you could just hear the glee dripping from their copy about how he was a serious challenge to Omar, who just so happens to roll with a crew of women who moonlight for Dora Milaje.

Well, someone forgot to tell Minnesota voters that this was supposed to be a close race because Ilhan Omar just walked out here and beat this boy like a rented mule. Early Wednesday numbers showed Omar cruising by more than 15 percentage points.

“In Minnesota, we know that organized people will always beat organized money,” Omar wrote on Twitter. “Tonight, our movement didn’t just win. We earned a mandate for change. Despite outside efforts to defeat us, we once again broke turnout records. Despite the attacks, our support has only grown.”

Omar’s victory ensured a “clean sweep of re-election fights for the group of first-term Democratic congresswomen of color,” (aka The Squad) and sends a message to the old guard of decrepit government that the progressive voice has staying power.
