Ahead of last month’s New York primary, Wall Street interests did their damndest to oust populist Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Thanks to big donations from a veritable murderer’s row of interests in private equity and investment banking, former CNBC anchor Michelle Caruso-Cabrera (who was until recently a registered Republican) proved able to mount a surprisingly well-financed challenge with resources in the millions.

It was all for naught as Caruso-Cabrera finished well behind the incumbent. But with Minnesota’s primary elections set for August 11, a similar dynamic has emerged in the state’s Fifth Congressional District, where lawyer Antone Melton-Meaux is running to unseat left-wing Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Omar more than doubled her opponent’s fundraising in the first quarter of 2020, but recently released numbers show that Melton-Meaux raked in some $3.2 million in the second and now enjoys a nearly two-to-one advantage when it comes to cash on hand.

Though big donors certainly did their best to defeat AOC last month, she still raised more than five times her opponent’s total — an advantage that can only have aided what was ultimately a decisive margin of victory. The money pouring in to unseat Omar has thus given Melton-Meaux a potential edge Caruso-Cabrera’s challenge didn’t enjoy.
