Minnesota State Senator Omar Fateh made headlines in July after wining the Minneapolis democratic party's endorsement as a DSA-backed, young Muslim going up against an establishment-backed incumbent. It was giving Zohran Mandani energy, until the incumbent, Jacob Frey, challenged the result, and the endorsement was revoked. Now, with less than two months until election day, Fateh joins the podcast to discuss comparisons to Zohran, why Frey has lost the confidence of the party, how DSA candidates can remain accountable to the organization, and how to handle the corporate media's attacks on the defund movement -- especially as a candidate running in the city where George Floyd was killed.
