Republicans have their candidate in Kentucky, Democrats have their majority in Pennsylvania and the 2024 GOP presidential primary has another clash between former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the books.
Voters threw DeSantis a pair of brushbacks on Tuesday, most notably in Kentucky where the Florida governor’s eleventh hour endorsement in the GOP governor primary flopped. Back home in Jacksonville, Democrats knocked off another DeSantis ally, electing the city’s first female mayor. Philadelphia is now likely poised to do the same.
Republicans had held the Jacksonville mayor’s office since term-limited Mayor Lenny Curry narrowly defeated Democratic Mayor Alvin Brown in 2015. Jacksonville is consolidated with Duval County, Florida – which means rural portions of the county and red-leaning suburban areas also vote in the mayoral race. That in part is how Republicans held the mayor’s office from former Mayor Ed Austin’s party switch in 1993 until now, with Brown’s lone four-year term as the only exception.
