I suppose this is what they mean by “Minnesota Nice”:
Omar Fateh waves foreign flag, speaks a foreign language, pledges his loyalty to Somalia, tells Somalians to elect him

From Power Line Blog:
Minor miracles
And I mean minor. From the Minneapolis Star Tribune,
Mayor Jacob Frey beat back a challenge from democratic socialist Omar Fateh for a third term leading Minnesota’s largest city.
We had to wait a few extra hours for the result, to see if the colossally- stupid, ranked-choice voting system would screw thing up. It didn’t.
In the end, Frey was credited with just over 50 percent of the vote, seeing off the challenge from state Sen. Fateh, 50-44.
For the record: the two CAIR-endorsed candidates for mayor of Minneapolis (Fateh) and St. Paul (Melvin Carter, the incumbent) both lost yesterday.
CAIR also endorsed eight candidates for Minneapolis City Council. Two lost, including the incumbent Katie Cashman.
To be clear, Jacob Frey has been a terrible mayor. But yesterday’s contest pitted a slow but inevitable decline (Frey) vs. a Mamdani-style immediate collapse for the state’s largest city (Fateh). Slow decline won!
Yay?
Thanks for that update, Fred. That is great news. Frey is awful, but Fateh would have been much worse, as the PowerLine folks indicate.
Our country is in quite a predicament…
