DETROIT — U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib had some heavy help Sunday in her bid for a third term in Congress.
Progressive Democrats known as The Squad, U.S. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, were on hand to rally for one of their own, who opted to run in the 12th Congressional District after representing the 13th District for two terms.
Tlaib, a Detroit Democrat, is facing a primary challenge from three other Democrats in the new 12th District, which covers Dearborn, Southfield and part of Detroit, as well as Livonia, Inkster, Westland, Garden City and Redford Charter Township.
