In 2018 Tlaib won the Democratic nomination for the United States House of Representatives seat from Michigan's 13th congressional district.

Tlaib is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). She and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are the third and fourth DSA members to serve in Congress and the first female DSA members to serve in Congress. Tlaib is the first DSA member from a Midwestern district elected to the U.S. House. Tlaib has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration and advocated impeachment of President Donald Trump. On foreign affairs, she has sharply criticized the Israeli government, called for an end to U.S. aid to Israel, and expressed support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign. Tlaib is a member of the informal group known as "The Squad" along with Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
