“The Progressive Takeover of Big Cities Is Nearly Complete,” announced New York Magazine a day before stop-and-frisk-defending Cherelle Parker beat Philly’s progressive darling Helen Gym by ten points in a crowded mayoral primary. After closely scrutinizing voting data at the precinct-level, the Philadelphia Inquirer concluded:

Parker’s victory in Philadelphia’s Democratic mayoral primary was powered by Black voters and residents of the poor and low-income neighborhoods hardest hit by the city’s gun violence crisis.

Parker absolutely cleaned house in precincts with populations over 75 percent black. She was also by far the best-performing candidate in majority-Latino precincts, and her support was strongest in precincts with the lowest income levels.
