Ilhan Omar's Path Beyond 'Firsts'.

Ilhan Omar, the first Muslim woman in the House, is no longer defined by her "firsts" and is now seen as a serious legislator who gives voice to marginalized groups. She has earned admiration for her work and was defended by fellow Democrats when Republicans tried to remove her from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Omar is now embarking on a new chapter as a minority in the minority, helping Biden and the Democratic Party provide a split screen to Republican control by highlighting the implementation of several legislative achievements made in the past two years.
