Michigan Democrat Likely to Be First Muslim Woman Elected to Congress
CNN’s Daniel Burke and Jeremy Moorhead report that Congress should soon be getting its first member who is a Muslim woman. They write, “Tlaib, who beat a crowded field of Democrats to win Tuesday’s primary, will not face a Republican opponent in November’s general election. She can still be opposed by a write-in candidate, but would be the overwhelming favorite in the deeply Democratic district.” The daughter of Palestinian immigrants, she is one of more than 90 Muslims running for office this year.
