Polls closed Tuesday night in Pennsylvania’s 2024 primary election, concluding a day of voting that featured high-profile races for both Democrats and Republicans in the Lehigh Valley. Leading up to the election, Northampton County officials emphasized efforts to ensure a smooth process following a voting machine malfunction in November. Lehigh Valley Republicans selected their challenger to face U.S. Rep. Susan Wild in the 7th Congressional District, while Pennsylvania state Rep. Robert Freeman faced a primary challenge from Easton City Councilwoman Taiba Sultana. The statewide primary also cemented the lineup for the U.S. Senate race between Democratic Sen. Bob Casey and Republican challenger David McCormick, which is expected to be highly competitive.
