The Minneapolis mayor\u2019s race will advance to ranked choice voting after none of the candidates received at least 50% of the vote in Tuesday\u2019s election, the Associated Press has reported.<\/p>\n

Minneapolis allows voters to rank up to three candidates in its municipal races. The field for mayor included more than a dozen candidates. As of 10:41 p.m. EST, Jacob Frey and Omar Fateh had received the most first-choice results.<\/p>\n

Fateh made waves on the national political stage this year, drawing comparisons to Zohran Mamdani<\/a>‘s mayoral campaign in New York City, after\u00a0The Minnesota Star Tribune<\/u><\/a> dubbed him the “Mamdani of Minneapolis.”<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old son of Somali immigrants, who became the first Somali-American elected to the Minnesota state Senate in 2020, challenged incumbent Frey head-on this year, criticizing the comparatively moderate Democrat for failing to “meet the needs of our changing society.”<\/p>\n

ILHAN OMAR ERUPTS AT OWN PARTY FOR RENEGING ON SOCIALIST CANDIDATE’S ENDORSEMENT: ‘INEXCUSABLE’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Fateh was endorsed by Minnesota’s Democratic Farmer-Labor party<\/a> this summer, the first endorsement of a Minneapolis mayoral candidate in 16 years, before DFL Chairman Chirard Carlbom rescinded the coveted endorsement a month later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I am incredibly honored to be the DFL endorsed candidate for Minneapolis Mayor. This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It\u2019s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us,” Fateh said on X<\/u><\/a> in July.\u00a0<\/p>\n

MINNEAPOLIS DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST OMAR FATEH VOWS TO PROTECT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM ‘HOSTILE’ TRUMP ADMIN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“After a thoughtful and transparent review of the challenges, the Constitution, Bylaws & Rules Committee found substantial failures in the Minneapolis Convention\u2019s voting process on July 19th, including an acknowledgment that a mayoral candidate was errantly eliminated from contention. As a result, the Constitution, Bylaws & Rules Committee has vacated the mayoral endorsement,” Carlbom said the following month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But with the backing of the Twin Cities’ chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America and “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar<\/a>, D-Minn., who represents Minneapolis in the U.S. House of Representatives, Fateh’s progressive campaign maintained momentum.<\/p>\n

There were 15 mayoral candidates on the ballot in Minneapolis Tuesday as the city did not hold a mayoral primary. And while candidates can still identify politically, city races in Minneapolis are officially nonpartisan.<\/p>\n

In an attempt to consolidate support against the incumbent frontrunner Frey, Fateh urged his supporters to rank pastor DeWayne Davis and attorney Jazz Hampton as their second and third choices.<\/p>\n

In Minneapolis, if a candidate receives more than 50% of first-choice votes, that candidate wins outright.<\/p>\n

But if no one gets a majority, counting moves to additional rounds. After each round, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and those ballots are redistributed to the next-ranked candidate on each voter\u2019s ballot. The process continues until one candidate has a majority and can be declared the winner.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0The Associated Press<\/u><\/a>, every mayoral race in Minneapolis since 2013 has gone to at least a second round of ranked-choice voting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Frey ousted an incumbent in 2017 after six rounds of tabulation. Then in 2021, Frey won re-election after two rounds.<\/p>\n

The mayor’s last race took the national stage on the heels of the murder of George Floyd<\/a> by a police officer in Minneapolis in 2020, an incident that triggered national and international protests rejecting police brutality amid the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Gov. Tim Walz<\/a>, D-Minn., who was former Vice President Kamala Harris<\/a>‘ running mate last year and is up for re-election next year, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar<\/a>, D-Minn., endorsed Frey’s campaign this year.<\/p>\n

And Minneapolis was once again forced into the national spotlight this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The city is still reeling from a massacre at a back-to-school Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church in August, where two children were killed and 17 others injured when a shooter opened fire before committing suicide.\u00a0<\/p>\n
