PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Cherelle Parker could make history if she wins the Philadelphia mayoral election in November. With Democrats outnumbering Republicans 7 to 1 in Philadelphia, that seems likely.

Members of Parker's campaign team say a tribute to her success is earning the trust of the middle class.

"We're going to hit the trail and do what we've been doing since Sept. 7 of 2022," Parker said just moments after she was leaving the polls before dropping her son off at school. "Hit every neighborhood, talk to as many people as possible and build the strongest, most diverse coalition, people power, to make history in our city."
