Frey Fends Off Socialist Challenge to Keep Minneapolis Mayor Seat Amid Ranked-Choice Vote Recount

Minneapolis Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey has won re-election after fending off a challenge from democratic socialist Omar Fateh and 13 other opponents in a closely contested election. The outcome was determined by the city's ranked-choice voting system, which allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference. Fateh came close, but ultimately failed to unseat Frey, who will serve another four-year term as mayor.
