Chris Rabb projected to win Democratic primary in PA's 3rd Congressional District race

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- ABC News is projecting that Chris Rabb will win the Democratic primary in Pennsylvania's 3rd Congressional District race.

Election results for the 2026 Pa. Primary

Running as a progressive and taking left-wing stances on issues such as health care (such as supporting "Medicare for All"), Rabb notched the endorsement of left-leaning organizations as well as nationally known figures such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who campaigned with him last week.

Why this race matters

Rabb, as projected winner of the primary, is likely to succeed U.S. Rep. Dwight Evans, age 71, who has served in the House of Representatives since 2017 and announced last June that he is retiring from Congress at the end of his term.

While this race is not one of the "battlegrounds" for the U.S. House, it does represent a distinct example of generational change among Democrats, given that it shows a longtime representative ceding his seat to a new generation of lawmakers.

Rabb defeated Sharif Street, Dr. Ala Stanford, and Shaun Griffith.
