The Spin

Democratic narrative

Omar may buck the Democratic Party line on some issues, but in the bigger picture, she's a progressive who delivers policies that benefit her constituents, including abortion protections that are under attack from Republicans. Omar's popularity showed up in her fundraising and endorsements from prominent Democrats who know it's important to keep her in Congress.

Republican narrative

What Omar's victory proves is that there's no longer a difference between the Democratic Party and the radical far left. Omar's fundraising and endorsements prove the strength of the far-left and anti-Israel factions in the party — elements that will destroy America if allowed.
