Ocasio-Cortez’s Squad might be getting bigger and thats terrible for MAGA world.
The radical left just gained more ground in the Midwest.
Minnesota’s Democratic Party has officially endorsed far-left State Senator Omar Fateh in the race for Minneapolis mayor, signaling a deeper shift toward progressive extremism. The endorsement came Saturday from the Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party, which snubbed current Democrat Mayor Jacob Frey in favor of a socialist-aligned challenger.
Fateh, who proudly embraces the Democratic socialist label, celebrated the endorsement on social media, writing, “Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual.” His statement highlights the growing influence of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-style politics in America’s heartland.
At just 35, Fateh already checks the boxes of the radical progressive movement. A son of Somali immigrants and the first Somali-American elected to the Minnesota Senate, he aligns himself with controversial figures like Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and New York City Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani—both known for their far-left, anti-police agendas.
If elected mayor, Fateh has pledged to push a sweeping liberal agenda: raising the city’s minimum wage, expanding government-funded housing, and taking aim at what he calls “police violence.” His critics say these policies would only deepen Minneapolis’s ongoing struggles with crime, public safety, and economic instability.
Mayor Frey, who has attempted to walk a moderate line within the Democrat Party, slammed the DFL’s endorsement process. His campaign labeled the convention “deeply flawed” and “irregular,” arguing that a small group of hand-picked delegates should not override the will of the city’s voters.
“This election should be decided by the entire city, not a few activists behind closed doors,” said Frey campaign spokesperson Sam Schulenberg. “Minneapolis residents now face a clear choice: a stable path forward or a radical experiment driven by fringe ideology.”
As Minneapolis prepares for its mayoral election, voters will be forced to confront a critical decision: Will the city embrace law and order, or plunge deeper into progressive chaos?
With rising crime rates, economic uncertainty, and public frustration at an all-time high, this race could determine whether Minneapolis becomes a model for common-sense leadership—or a cautionary tale of a city overtaken by the radical left.
