Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib, an outspoken progressive and a Palestinian American, will win reelection in the 13th District of Michigan, CNN projects.
Tlaib, 44, is a staunch critic of US President Donald Trump and has been shaking things up since she made history two years ago as the first of two Muslim women to be elected to the US House of Representatives.

She and three other progressive Democratic congresswomen first elected in 2018 – Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts – are together known as “The Squad.”
Tlaib famously called the president an expletive while pledging to impeach him, while Trump has made her and her colleagues targets of several of his disparaging tweets, reports Aljazeera.
