Rep. Ilhan Omar’s, D-Minn., Republican challenger is pushing back against what he calls the radical congresswoman’s “unthinking” call to defund the Minneapolis Police Department -- and says he believes he has a good chance of climbing a “political Mount Everest” and unseating her in November.
Republican-endorsed challenger is pushing back against what he calls the radical congresswoman’s “unthinking” call to defund the Minneapolis Police Department -- and says he believes he has a good chance of climbing a “political Mount Everest” and unseating her in November.
“Some of us know a lot of these officers personally and know that maybe 99.9 percent of them are good officers, so we want to work with everybody to bring everyone together and bring everybody to the table to get them solved,” he said. Johnson faces a tough climb to unseat Omar in November. He has the backing of the GOP and President Trump, and is likely to win the party primary in August. But Omar won her seat with over 70 percent of the vote in 2018, and it’s a seat that has been firmly Democratic for decades.
