From the Minneapolis Star Tribune,
Mayor Jacob Frey beat back a challenge from democratic socialist Omar Fateh for a third term leading Minnesota’s largest city.
We had to wait a few extra hours for the result, to see if the colossally- stupid, ranked-choice voting system would screw thing up. It didn’t.
In the end, Frey was credited with just over 50 percent of the vote, seeing off the challenge from state Sen. Fateh, 50-44.
For the record: the two CAIR-endorsed candidates for mayor of Minneapolis (Fateh) and St. Paul (Melvin Carter, the incumbent) both lost yesterday.
CAIR also endorsed eight candidates for Minneapolis City Council. Two lost, including the incumbent Katie Cashman (Ward 7).
Yesterday’s contest in Minneapolis pitted a slow but inevitable decline (Frey) vs. a Mamdani-style immediate collapse for the state’s largest city (Fateh). Slow decline won!
Yay?
