As the world watches the unfolding U.S. election results, two remarkable figures—Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar—stand out, having secured re-election in this year’s cycle.

Let’s revisit their journeys to understand their impact. Rashida Tlaib first caught the world’s attention when she held up a bold sign reading “Guilty of Genocide” during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address. This defining image brought her recognition beyond U.S. borders. Tlaib, of Palestinian descent, has been re-elected for her fourth term, representing Michigan.

Ilhan Omar, meanwhile, made history as the first Somali American in the U.S. Congress and the first woman of colour to represent Minnesota. Her election marked a new era for diverse voices in U.S. politics, and she has now won her third term.

Tlaib and Omar are the first Muslim women to serve in Congress. In 2024, they again made history by securing their places in office. Their enduring legacies shape America’s history and pave the way for meaningful change and a more inclusive future.
