47 minutes agoA sign for an early voting site at the Stead Park Recreation Center is photographed in northwest Washington, on May 29, 2024. – Democrats in the nation’s capital will get their chance to weigh in on the race for the White House on Tuesday as thePresident Joe Biden is the only major candidate left on the ballot in the city that delivered him a higher share of the vote than any state in the 2020 general election against then-President Donald Trump . After Tuesday’s contests in D.C.
While most of the city primaries on the ballot involve incumbents running for reelection, the Ward 7 city council Democratic primary is an open-seat race featuring 10 candidates. The incumbent is former Mayor Vincent Gray, who is retiring after suffering a series of health challenges in recent years.
For local races, five of the seven contested Democratic primaries feature incumbents running for reelection, most of whom won their last primary by large margins. The incumbent with the smallest margin of victory in the last primary is shadow Rep. Oye Owolewa, who won the 2022 Democratic nomination by a margin of 5 percentage points. The past primary results for these five races will provide a good benchmark of how each incumbent is faring as results come in on Tuesday night.
The AP does not make projections and will declare a winner only when it’s determined there is no scenario that would allow the trailing candidates to close the gap. If a race has not been called, the AP will continue to cover any newsworthy developments, such as candidate concessions or declarations of victory. In doing so, the AP will make clear that it has not yet declared a winner and explain why.
