Ilhan Omar answers questions about name as Trump calls for resignation

Omar answered directly. Asked her name by reporter Corin Hoggard, the congresswoman leaned into the microphone: "My name's Ilhan Abdullahi Omar."

That exchange is at the center of a FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul report drawing an unusually large audience for the station. The upload reached roughly 370,000 views in its first day, nearly 200 times the channel's usual opening for regular videos.

Reporter Mike Manzoni's segment follows Donald Trump's call for Omar to resign. In footage from an Iowa campaign rally, Trump alleges that she used a false name to be sworn into Congress. The report also says Omar skipped a scheduled press appearance with Attorney General Keith Ellison after early voting.

Alongside Omar's answer, Manzoni presents a school record of the name: her high school yearbook photograph from Edison High School in Minneapolis, listed as Ilhan Omar.
