US EditionTomorrow Is Primary Election Day in PA
- Pennsylvania voters are casting ballots on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, in primary elections for municipal offices in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and statewide appellate courts.
- The elections follow a year marked by Democratic losses in 2024 and were preceded by significant absentee ballot requests and turnout data from recent primaries.
- In Philadelphia, incumbent District Attorney Larry Krasner is running for a third term, facing a challenge from former Municipal Court Judge Pat Dugan, who has raised significantly more campaign funds. Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh, Mayor Ed Gainey contends with a strong primary opponent, Allegheny County Controller Corey O’Connor, amid contentious debates over urban development and allegations of racially charged political tactics.
- Nearly 390,000 absentee ballots were requested statewide with about 30% of Republican ballots in Pittsburgh cast, and more than 14,000 Democratic absentee ballots already submitted in Philadelphia, showing high early engagement.
- Given the Democratic dominance in these cities, Tuesday's primaries will likely decide fall election outcomes and signal the party's direction after recent statewide defeats.
