Minnesota’s primary election will take place Tuesday, narrowing the field of candidates who will appear on ballots in November’s general election. There are several contested primaries that will be closely watched this week.

That includes the 5th congressional district in Minneapolis. Rep. Ilhan Omar faces a rematch from former Minneapolis City council member Don Samuels.

Two years ago, Omar beat Samuels by just two percentage points. Experts say that whoever wins the DFL primary will likely win the seat in November. Joining MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to talk about the tight race is MPR News senior politics reporter Clay Masters.
