June 17 (UPI) -- Robert White, an at-large member of the D.C. Council, was poised to win the Democratic nomination for D.C.'s nonvoting delegate to the U.S. House as the district held its primary on Tuesday.
The race was part of D.C.'s first election using ranked-choice voting, but it appeared unnecessary as White had cleared the 50% threshold.
According to unofficial district results, more than 63% of Democratic primary voters cast ballots for White to represent the Democratic Party in November's election for the district's sole House delegate seat. Five candidates were on the ballot.
White will face Republican Denise Rosado and Kymone Freeman of the D.C. Statehood Green Party in November.
