The Minnesota DFL's move to revoke the endorsement of Minnesota state Sen. Omar Fateh by the local Minneapolis party unit for the city's mayoral race has sparked backlash.

The campaigns and supporters of the leading Minneapolis mayoral candidates, Jacob Frey and Omar Fateh, are speaking out in the wake of the state DFL’s decision to vacate the endorsement of Fateh.

Fateh, a democratic socialist, won the Minneapolis DFL endorsement in July over Mayor Jacob Frey. Though his victory raised his profile in the race, it also drew dozens of challenges from his opponents over allegations of delays and miscounted votes.
