Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey, who had allied himself with progressives, has lost a Democratic primary challenge, The Associated Press reported. The AP called the race for Alleghany County Controller Corey O'Connor at 10:05 p.

Pennsylvania voters head to the polls on May 20 to vote in the state's primary election, including voting for Pittsburgh mayor.

Ed Gainey, who was elected to be Pittsburgh’s first Black mayor nearly four years ago, will face Corey O’Connor, the Allegheny County Controller and well-funded son of a beloved former mayor. The primary will probably decide the general election as well, since Pittsburgh has not elected a Republican mayor in nearly a century.
