Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has won a fifth term in the United States House of Representatives, retaining her seat for Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District despite criticism from President Donald Trump and an ongoing federal investigation.
Omar defeated Republican candidate John Nagel in Tuesday’s midterm elections, according to projections by CBS News.
The Somali-born lawmaker has been a vocal critic of Trump and has repeatedly faced attacks from the president over her background and political views. Her re-election comes amid a federal investigation involving allegations concerning her immigration and naturalisation records. On October 12, federal agents searched Omar’s Washington, DC, residence as part of the investigation. Her phone and passport were reportedly seized, while subpoenas were issued to some of her relatives.
