Topping the ballot will be the presidential race.

The Democrats are President Joe Biden and Dean Phillips, though Phillips has dropped out.

The Republicans are former President Donald Trump and Nikki Haley, though Haley has dropped out.

Next up is the U.S. Senate race. Democratic Sen. Bob Casey Jr. and Republican Dave McCormick are both unopposed.

Both parties have contested primaries for attorney general.

On the Democratic side, the candidates are Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer, former Auditor General Eugene DePasquale, former Bucks County Solicitor Joe Khan, former Defender Association of Philadelphia chief Keir Bradford-Grey and state Rep. Jared Solomon.

On the Republican side, the candidates are York County District Attorney Dave Sunday and state Rep. Craig Williams.

For auditor general, Democrats Malcolm Kenyatta and Mark Pinsley are battling to see who faces Republican incumbent Tim DeFoor.

For state treasurer, Democrats Ryan Bizzarro and Erin McClelland are squaring off for the right to face Republican incumbent Stacy Garrity.

In the 2nd Congressional District, Democratic Rep. Brendan Boyle and Republican Aaron Bashir are both unopposed.

State Sen. Jimmy Dillon (D-5th dist.) and his Republican opponent, Joe Picozzi, are both unopposed.

State Reps. Martina White, Pat Gallagher, Ed Neilson, Joe Hohenstein, Jason Dawkins, Jared Solomon and Anthony Bellmon are unopposed in the primary and general election.

There are primaries on both sides in the 172nd Legislative District. Embattled Democratic Rep. Kevin Boyle would seem to have little shot of being renominated. He’s opposed by lawyer Sean Dougherty. The Republicans are Burholme Civic Association President Aizaz Gill and former Army Ranger Patrick Gushue.

Both parties will be picking delegates to the summer national conventions, determined by congressional district. Nine candidates in the 2nd Congressional District are running for nine spots at the Democratic National Convention, Aug. 19-22 in Chicago. Three candidates are running for three seats as delegate and alternate delegate to the Republican National Convention, July 15-18 in Milwaukee.

All Philadelphia voters will decide on this question related to Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPP): “Should the Philadelphia Home Rule Charter be amended to require the City to provide for the indemnification and defense of registered community organizations in connection with claims made against them arising directly out of their lawful participation in the City’s zoning variance process?”
