Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh, a Democratic Socialist whose campaign has drawn parallels to Zohran Mamdani, lost the endorsement of Minnesota’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) on Thursday. The decision to strip Fateh of his endorsement came after incumbent Minneapolis Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey challenged the DFL’s voting process. “After a thoughtful and transparent review of the challenges, the Constitution, Bylaws & Rules Committee found substantial failures in the Minneapolis Convention’s voting process on July 19th, including an acknowledgement that a mayoral candidate was errantly eliminated from contention,” DFL Party Chairman Richard Carlbom said in a statement.
