The Latest: First Muslim woman poised to join Congress
Former Michigan state lawmaker Rashida Tlaib has won the Democratic nomination to run unopposed for a House seat, setting her up to become the first Muslim woman elected to Congress.
No Republicans or third-party candidates ran in Tuesday's District 13 primary race, meaning Tlaib is set to win the seat in November's election. Why is that? Because no Republican has a snowball's chance in hell of winning. Just so you know District 13 includes portions of Detroit which has not had a Republican mayor since 1962. Which explains why Detroit is the worse city in America to live in.
And the voters love the status quo!!!
She would take the spot held since 1965 by John Conyers, who stepped down in December citing health reasons amid charges of sexual harassment.
She's got some big shoes to fill. Conyers was the longest-serving House member and was in the habit of stripping naked in his office and groping women when they walked in.
This is going to be hard to live up to... especially for a Muslim.
