New Socialist Faces Rise Amid Democrats, Including Minneapolis Mayoral Hopeful Omar Fateh
A new generation of socialist candidates is emerging among Democrats, including Minnesota state Sen. Omar Fateh's potential bid to follow in Zohran Mamdani's footsteps as a rising star in the party.
Minnesota state Sen. Omar Fateh is gaining attention for his mayoral campaign in Minneapolis, raising questions about whether he could follow in the footsteps of socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani and rise to prominence among Democrats. Like Mamdani, Fateh has built a strong following among progressive voters with his advocacy for social justice and community development. As Fateh's campaign gains momentum, some are speculating that he could be the next wave of young, socialist candidates to emerge in the Democratic Party. If successful, Fateh would become the first Somali-American to hold public office in Minneapolis.
