According to Ms Jean Sinzdak of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, the rhetoric of current President Donald Trump is the key factor behind the rising levels of interest among women in running for office. Ms Sinzdak: “We are seeing heightened levels of engagement of women on the left as activists, voters and candidates — it is about being in opposition to the president.”
In the end, more than 100 female House candidates across parties were on course to win their races this week during the Midterm elections, a record number that represents the culmination of a milestone year for first-time female candidates running for office.
At the moment, just 84 women serve in the current US House of Representatives. Democratic women also chalked up successes in gubernatorial elections as they wrested power from the Republicans in Kansas and Michigan.

One of the names to be on the lookout for is Miss Ilhan Omar, a young well-spoken candidate for the Democrats who came to the US as a refugee from Somalia.
The internet is full of conspiracy theories as to her (supposed) marriage to her own brother in order to get documents and about her ardent discontent of Israel.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/IlhanMN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@IlhanMN</a> hates Israel <a href="https://t.co/wAaCtgVjY7">https://t.co/wAaCtgVjY7</a>.

Of course, now that she is an elected official, Miss Omar will come under a lot of scrutiny.
One of the tweets that she sent over the last few years will be looked on especially, as she said in the past (2012) that: “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.”
Miss Omar, an openly Muslim woman elected to represent Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District in the US House of Representatives now becomes one of two Muslim women who will go to Congress in the next term, including Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.
Back in 2016 when she first gained public office (elected to the Minnesota state legislature), she made similar statements about Israel in various interviews.
And also on social media, this year has been no different.
In May 2018, she tweeted, “Drawing attention to the apartheid Israeli regime is far from hating Jews.” On the same day she said: “Well you know, if a Muslim says something negative about Israeli government, they must hate Jews. Didn’t you get that memo?”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Drawing attention to the apartheid Israeli regime is far from hating Jews. You are a hateful sad man, I pray to Allah you get the help you need and find happiness. <a href="https://t.co/SvEXjlxlEN">https://t.co/SvEXjlxlEN</a></p>— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) <a href="https://twitter.com/IlhanMN/status/1002295140172664832?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 31, 2018</a></blockquote>

The Democrats are indeed all for diversity, but they may be riding a slippery slope with this one. Don’t be surprised if Miss Omar’s social media accounts suddenly get ‘scrubbed.’

She has no business serving in our government. Period!!! No one defending female genital mutilation should be. This is disgusting.
Does Allah know your scrubbing the nerve endings from the clitoris, that GOD put there, when he made women, with a rough stone? That must be torture. sic!
May Jesus Christ awaken Ilhan Omar and make her aware of the evil she defends and practices.
Wow. I guess they think God made a mistake when making woman, and that they can improve on His inadequacies.
If you praise & preach allah… You want the majority of Americans dead!
The democrats might as well be a muslim party. Well this Christian will not go quietly. I will openly shame all teachings which encourage the killing of non-believers.
That includes the globalist`s & all beneath them marching in lock step.
The goal to subjugate the world, turning common people into cattle. Will not come to fruition. Evil shall lose, both on earth & in the afterlife!
Ah, great thing that the US is a "Nation of Immigrants". There's always been Jews and Muslims in America! foreign entanglements and agendas is always a good thing!
If you think the Khazar jews are bad the muslim arabs are a million times worse. This stupid bitch is being played by satan himself. The muslims treat their women like garbage. If she was living in Iraq she would be stoned to death if she even attempted to vote much less run for office. She is the worst hypocrite. Only a stupid liberal or female muslim would vote for her. If this heathen is the future of America then the country like europe is doomed!
looks like diversity isn't all bad… the outing of the parasitic jews will be the very first step to making america great again. too bad Trumpy McTrumpface is on the wrong side of this issue.
