That endorsement isn't going to sit well with a lot of Democrats who live in Minneapolis. This is one of those situations where the convention delegates do not necessarily reflect the constituency. The reality is that it could easily lead to a Republican getting elected as Mayor. I doubt that is what is wanted.

Minneapolis DFL convention endorses democratic socialist Omar Fateh for mayor over (incumbent) Jacob Frey [View all] WhiskeyGrinder Jul 20 OP

Well, this is going to get interesting. MineralMan Jul 20 #1

Does the DFL endorsement mean Omar Fateh will be the only DFL candidate in the general? Incanus Jul 20 #2

No. The municipal election is officially nonpartisan, but candidates can seek endorsements. WhiskeyGrinder Jul 20 #3

See #4. We have ranked choice voting, so he won't be the only candidate. Ocelot II Jul 20 #5

Great explanation, thanks! Incanus Jul 20 #6

Since Minneapolis has ranked choice voting, the party endorsement has less influence. Ocelot II Jul 20 #4
