Progressive state Rep. Chris Rabb won the Democratic primary for Pennsylvania's 3rd Congressional District, securing the nomination to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Dwight Evans. He ran with backing from members of the "Squad" and campaigned on an anti-establishment platform, overcoming anonymous last-minute texts that accused him of spreading conspiracy theories and holding extremist views. Rabb's victory hands progressives a high-profile win in one of the country's most Democratic districts and signals anti-establishment candidates can prevail in Philadelphia politics.
