    Results are in! The City Cast Philly team stayed up late to get the results of last night’s Democratic primary election for the Third Congressional District. Host Trenae Nuri and executive producer Matt Katz discuss how the most progressive candidate, State Rep. Chris Rabb, won the Democratic nomination and what this surprising victory says about Philly Democrats (and democratic socialists). Plus, they break down the next big campaign between Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro and his challenger, Republican State Treasurer Stacy Garrity. Our newsletter has Philly news & events in your inbox every weekday morning.

    New Holiday in Philly Is a Response to Trump Hiding History
    May 19 2026
    Ona Judge was one of nine enslaved Black people forced to work and live at President George Washington’s Philadelphia home before her escape to freedom in 1796. The current president has tried to suppress her story and the story of other enslaved people who were held in Philadelphia. Now, there’s an extraordinary and permanent response: This Thursday is the first-ever annual Ona Judge Day in the city. Host Trenae Nuri talks through this history with  Ronnie Polaneczky, senior editor at Philadelphia Magazine, and Carl Singley, retired lawyer and co-founder of the Ona Judge Coalition.
