(wink, wink, nudge, nudge).

The incumbent Democrats who lost all lost to other Democrats. Another incumbent, a Green Party member, lost to a candidate who belongs to the Democratic Socialists.

The make up of the incoming Minneapolis City Council is 12 Democrats, 1 Democratic-Socialist and the mayor is also a Democrat.

Not a bad night for the DFL in the Mill City.
