Philadelphia Democrats outnumber Republicans 7 to 1, so Tuesday night's Democratic winner is likely the next mayor.
A tight race to lead the nation's sixth-largest city was unfolding in Philadelphia on Tuesday as voters navigated a crowded field of Democratic candidates in a contest that centered on how to combat gun violence and quality-of-life issues that make people feel unsafe.Former city council member Cherelle Parker and former city controller Rebecca Rhynhart were in a close contest as early votes were counted.
Only one Republican, former city council member David Oh, is running. He and the Democratic nominee will face each other in the Nov. 7 general election. Because Philadelphia is heavily Democratic, it is likely that whoever wins the primary will become the next mayor. "Especially with the way the Democratic Party is a little bit fractured this time around, I just think that there's going to be a lot of pushback on whomever gets voted in," she said.
