A Democratic Socialist could win the Minneapolis Mayor's race
His name is Omar Fateh, and he is the primary challenger to Jacob Frey. We have ranked choice voting. Frey has more votes on the first ballot, but Fateh, DeWayne Davis, and Jazz Hampton have more combined than Frey does. There was a movement to rank those three as a challenge to Frey. If that turns out to be the case, Fateh will be mayor.
BTW, all four are Democrats.
