But, But, Mandani. Somali Muslim Omar Fateh Loses Minneapolis Mayoral Bid. Minneapolis makes most other blue cities look Conservative. So what happened?

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has secured a third term, defeating Democratic state Sen. Omar Fateh and 13 other challengers in the city’s ranked-choice voting election.

Frey, a mainstream Democrat, led Fateh by about 10 percentage points after the first round of counting on Tuesday night but did not achieve the 50%-plus-one-vote threshold required for an outright win.
