    Data: Associated Press; Chart: Axios Visuals

    Voters in Minneapolis and surrounding suburbs are deciding Tuesday whether U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) should have a chance at another term in Congress.

    The big picture: The prominent member of the progressive "Squad" faces a repeat challenge from Don Samuels, a moderate former Minneapolis City Council member who came within 2 points of victory in the 2022 primary.


    Yes, but: The bitter rematch between Omar and Samuels didn't attract the same level of spending as Bush's and Bowman's.

    The other side: Dalia al-Aqidi, an Iraqi-born immigrant who has worked as a journalist and an activist, will be the GOP nominee.

    Zoom in: The 5th Congressional District includes Minneapolis, as well as the suburbs of Brooklyn Center, St. Louis Park, Richfield, Crystal, Robbinsdale, Golden Valley, New Hope and Fridley.

    Between the lines: The winner of the Democratic primary is heavily favored to win the November election in the deep blue district.

    What to watch : Polls close at 8pm Central.
