Cherelle Parker's Historic Win Marred by Hospitalization

Cherelle Parker, who won the Democratic primary for Philadelphia's mayoral race, was hospitalized due to a dental emergency just as she secured her victory. Parker's campaign was centered on law and order, with a focus on deploying more police officers to the streets of Philadelphia. Her top opponent in the primary was Helen Gym, a progressive Democrat backed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders. Parker is almost certain to win the general election against Republican David Oh, as Democrats outnumber Republicans in the city roughly 7-to-1.
