Islam is on the march.

State Senator Aisha Wahab, a radical, far-left Afghan Muslim, won California’s US House 14 in a special election to replace Eric Swalwell.

Aisha Wahab defeated ‘moderate’ Democrat Melissa Hernandez after the two advanced in the June 16 primary.

The special election moved to a race between Wahab and Hernandez after neither of the women received a majority of the vote.

Wahab previously accused Israel of genocide and attacked pro-Israel AIPAC.

AIPAC reportedly dumped millions of dollars into Melissa Hernandez’s campaign.

With more than 95% of the vote in, Wahab won 53% to Hernandez’s 47%, Decision Desk, NBC News and AP projected.

Wahab will serve out the remainder of Eric Swalwell’s term.
