With days left, WHYY covers the endorsement war. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez filled the pews at the Garden of Prayer church in Northwest Philly to back Rabb, and framed the primary as a question about the party itself: "The question here is not whether this community will elect a Democrat, the question is, What kind of Democrat will this community elect, Philadelphia?" Street held the party faithful, including Sen. Cory Booker. Of four candidates on the ballot, only two drew prominent endorsements, which the story reads as a live argument over the party's direction. Reclaim Philadelphia Executive Director Seth Anderson-Oberman is quoted among the local organizers who had already made their choice.
