8. For me, the story amounts to two things

1) Her voting record. I myself prefer a rep who votes for Democratic legislation rather than with Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, and Thomas Massie, among the other dregs of the GOP.

I know others who feel the same way.

2) Democracy. Residents of congressional districts have a right to choose their elected officials, and that means they may face primary challengers. Why you consider that nefarious escapes me.

The primary will be later this summer. If Omar wins the majority in that primary, she will be reelected. If Samuels wins the majority, he will be the new congressperson.
