The winner will face lone Republican contender David Oh in the November general election.

Julia Hatmaker | [email protected] Democratic primary that will likely determine who becomes Philadelphia’s next mayor could boost a progressive causeafter national setbacks, but with no clear front-runner it’s just as likely to fortify the city’s existing Democratic machine.

Our Revolution, a movement born during Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential race and now one of the largest progressive organizations in the country, has endorsed Helen Gym, a former member of the City Council. Sanders has also personally endorsed her, and appeared alongside her ahead of the primary, along with progressive U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

A number of trade and labor unions, which helped propel Kenney when he first ran for mayor, have coalesced behind Parker. Kenney himself said he cast a ballot for Parker during early voting. Meanwhile, the city’s local police union is backing grocery business owner and political outsider Jeff Brown, and the teachers union wants Gym.

A number of cities have moved to ranked-choice elections, allowing voters to order the candidates from most to least preferred. But in Philadelphia, the winning candidate needs a plurality — which could be just a slim amount of the total vote — to face lone Republican candidate David Oh in the November general election.
