Rep. Ilhan Omar will run for re-election to her House seat next fall, closing the door on a possible run for retiring Sen.

High-profile "Squad" member Rep. Ilhan Omar effectively closed the door on rumors she would seek Minnesota’s open Senate seat in 2026, with an announcement launching a House re-election bid.

For several years, online rumors have alleged that U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar's father, Nur Omar Mohamed, committed war crimes as a military officer in Somalia before immigrating to the U.S. as a refugee.
