Chris Rabb, Progressive State Rep., Defeats Democratic Establishment
Results are in! The City Cast Philly team stayed up late to get the results of last night’s Democratic primary election for the Third Congressional District. Host Trenae Nuri and executive producer Matt Katz discuss how the most progressive candidate, State Rep. Chris Rabb, won the Democratic nomination and what this surprising victory says about Philly Democrats (and democratic socialists). Plus, they break down the next big campaign between Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro and his challenger, Republican State Treasurer Stacy Garrity.
