The Philadelphia open‑seat contest illustrates these real‑world pressures on Democratic strategists and voters: as Black districts are eroded in the South, local primaries become battlegrounds for competing priorities. The poll helps explain why the party is increasingly embracing harder‑edged tactics to defend or regain representation.
