Chris Rabb wins Democratic primary for House seat representing parts of Philadelphia, CBS News projects
- On Tuesday, CBS News projected State Rep. Chris Rabb won the Democratic primary for Pennsylvania's 3rd Congressional District, poised to succeed retiring Rep. Dwight Evans.
- The contest revealed Democratic fault lines, with Rabb describing himself as "an aggressively anti-establishment Democrat" while defeating state Sen. Sharif Street and physician Ala Stanford.
- Backed by the "Squad" and the Working Families Party, Rabb campaigned on Medicare and the Green New Deal, urging rivals to label Israel's war in Gaza a "genocide."
- Rabb's victory marks a rebuke of Philadelphia's Democratic machine, with him saying "that the era of establishment politics is coming to an end."
- Given the 3rd Congressional District's heavy Democratic lean and the absence of a Republican challenger, Rabb is widely expected to win the seat in November.
