INSIDER: The other big mayoral contest that’s flown under the radar

Even though the New York City mayor’s race is getting all the national attention, there is another very important mayoral election that’s flying under the radar.

All eyes have been focused on the Big Apple, where Ugandan-born Zohran Mamdani is expected to win next week’s contest, putting the nation’s largest city under control of a Muslim “communist lunatic” who will instantly become the face of the Democratic Party.

A Mamdani victory would firmly establish Gotham as the capital of the domestic communist caliphate, and some have been warning of an eventual westward expansion, but it could start to happen much sooner than anticipated if things break right for Omar Fateh, the bug-eyed Muslim who has a good shot at becoming the next mayor of Minneapolis next week.

As the historic first Somali American to serve in Minnesota’s state Senate, the 35-year-old Fateh is like Mamdani, a fresh young face who appeals to a youthful generation that, largely due to the failure of the American educational system, has been seduced by the siren song of socialism, with alarming polls showing that a majority are rejecting capitalism.

Like the “ayatollah” in New York, he is also a so-called Democratic Socialist which is a popular term used by Democrats and the media to sugarcoat communism, and Fateh is pushing many of the same ideas including punitive taxation of the wealthy, refusal to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement authorities, rent controls, police “reforms” and perhaps most important of all, waging war on President Donald J. Trump.

Running against incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey, a simpering wimp in skinny jeans who famously wept at George Floyd’s coffin, Fateh may lack experience but he has a big advantage in a locale that over the last several decades has undergone a demographic shift that now has it looking more like Mogadishu than the once wholesome midwestern city that it used to be before its Obama-enabled invasion.

Fateh has also landed the endorsement of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who came to America from Somalia and has shown nothing but contempt for her adopted home, like much of the third-world rubbish that has taken up residence in the land of plenty, settling in Democrat-controlled hives where they are given special treatment and freebies galore.

The soft-spoken Fateh has greatly benefited from the lack of scrutiny in arguably the second most important mayoral election of this year’s cycle. Less flamboyant than his eastern counterpart, he benefits from not being a lightning rod in the fishbowl of New York City. He also comes across as more sincere than Mamdani, who recently showed off his chops as a shameless liar with his fairy tale about his “aunt” being afraid to wear her hijab on the subway after 9/11.

Fateh is also not facing a furious, well-funded late blitzkrieg to influence voters as Mamdani is in New York, where the high rollers and one of the city’s major newspapers are pulling out all stops to prevent catastrophe, including humping a late poll showing the disgraced ex-governor Andrew Cuomo roaring from behind to close to within striking distance. Although it’s largely Murdoch media outlets that are flogging the Suffolk University survey, a nothingburger that basically shows that Cuomo has benefited the most from Mayor Eric Adams dropping out.

But it’s still Mamdani’s race to lose.

It’s a much easier path for Fateh, and he enjoys the demographic advantage of the third-worlders in Little Somalia who could have the final say in elevating one of their own to run their city, and to serve as a blueprint for similar candidates in other deep blue locales.

And in a city where the Muslim call to prayer is broadcast over loudspeakers five times a day, it’s not like the “skinnies” are going to cast their votes for Frey. Especially after his hissy fit over losing the Minneapolis Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL)’s endorsement this summer, a tantrum that saw it clawed back from Fateh.

While a Fateh victory in itself would be dangerous, a win combined with a Mamdani triumph would be nightmarish, and even more so if leftists hit the trifecta in the Seattle mayoral election where Katie Wilson, another far left maniac is looking to be a winner, giving Democrats a three-headed, cost-to-coast, communist monster and an inspiration to other radicals who could mount their own mayoral runs in other cities next year.
