YouTube Description
as posted by the channel‘Squad’ Reps. Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib endorse Palestinian Kat Abughazaleh, 26, for Illinois House seat
“Squad” Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib have thrown their weight behind a 26-year-old lefty influencer to succeed a pioneering veteran Dem congresswoman in Illinois.
The far-left duo is backing insurgent Chicago-area congressional hopeful Kat Abughazaleh to succeed retiring Rep. Jan Schakowsky, who has thrown her support behind the younger woman’s rival in Tuesday’s Democratic primary.
Abughazaleh is known for being indicted for allegedly stymying ICE vehicle movements around a facility in Broadview, Ill., during a September 2025 demonstration. She also faced controversy earlier this year for sleeping through a virtual meeting, something she blamed on narcolepsy-induced “sleep attacks.”
“Kat Abughazaleh is a young Palestinian woman who represents the kind of fearless, principled leadership our country needs right now,” said Tlaib (D-Mich.), the first Palestinian-American to serve in the House, in a statement.
Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, joined Tlaib in endorsing Abughazaleh, 26, ahead of the candidate’s tough primary-race run for the party nod in the 9th Congressional District.
