The DFL has revoked the Minneapolis arm of the party's endorsement of state Sen. Omar Fateh in the Minneapolis mayoral race.

The Minneapolis DFL’s endorsement of state Sen. Omar Fateh in the Minneapolis mayor’s race sparked numerous challenges. On Thursday, the state DFL party took the unprecedented step of revoking the local endorsement.

Fateh, a democratic socialist, won the endorsement on July 19 at a Minneapolis DFL convention marked by difficulties and delays with the party’s electronic voting system.
