Christopher Taylor and Yousef Rabhi are set to face off in the August 4 Democratic primary, and recent forums have highlighted sharp differences on ICE enforcement and city taxes. Rabhi also received a labor endorsement, which could help him with organized support. The latest coverage adds campaign contrast, but no new result or major polling shift. The race still looks like a two-candidate contest, but the recent forum fights and Rabhi’s labor endorsement could modestly shape sentiment. The news is mixed overall and does not point to a clear frontrunner shift.
