Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said policy differences toward Israel between her and President Biden won’t stop her from supporting him in the November general election.

“Of course,” Omar said Tuesday, when asked by CNN’s Abby Phillip on “NewsNight” whether she would vote for Biden if the election were held that day, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “Democracy is on the line, we are facing down fascism.”

“And I personally know what my life felt like having Trump as the president of this country, and I know what it felt like for my constituents, and for people around this country and around the world,” Omar continued. “We have to do everything that we can to make sure that does not happen to our country again.”

        I usually donate to organizations that work on voting access. Under the idea that more voting generally helps the system work away from extremism.

      You still didn’t answer the question. I guess you must have fallen asleep, or you’d have a solid comeback.

        Because I haven’t figured it out yet. I only know who I’m not voting for.
