Philadelphia incumbent District Attorney Larry Krasner won the Democratic primary Tuesday, the Associated Press projects. Without any Republicans in the running, Krasner is likely to win a third term as the city's top prosecutor in the general election in November.

Philadelphia Democrat District Attorney Lawrence Krasner survived a primary challenge from Judge Pat Dugan on Tuesday, but the two could potentially face a rematch in November.

Krasner, a leader of the national progressive prosecutor movement, is poised to win a third term after prevailing over a well-funded challenge from former Municipal Court Judge Patrick F. Dugan in Tuesday’s Democratic primary, according to an Associated Press projection.

Krasner’s strategy to make the campaign about President Trump and national politics appears to have been effective among Philly Democrats.

Voters on Tuesday will choose new candidates to run for some of the top jobs in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, with the winners of the Democratic primaries all but assured of victory in November in the two heavily Democratic cities.

Jameer Rice and Shaun Triplett received life sentences without the possibility of parole for the crimes they committed alone and sometimes with others.

In deep-blue Philadelphia, the GOP is urging its primary voters to write in the Democrat challenging Soros-backed DA Larry Krasner in the hopes of getting him to the general election.
