Breaking: ‘Squad’ Member Rashida Tlaib Claims Victory in Michigan Primary

Tlaib beat out Detroit City Council president Brenda Jones, whom she narrowly defeated in a crowded primary in 2018 before first being elected to her seat. Tlaib's 2018 election made her one of the first two Muslim women in Congress.
