Tlaib holds lead in early vote count against primary challenger
By J. Edward Moreno - 08/05/20 08:49 AM EDT

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) holds a large lead over Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones in a Democratic primary, but with only 16 percent of precincts reporting, according to The Associated Press.

The two candidates could be waiting for some time for a formal result because of a large number of absentee ballots.

Tlaib has 66 percent of the votes cast so far, compared to 34 percent for Jones, according to the AP.


Tuesday marks the third time that Tlaib and Jones have gone head-to-head in the reliably blue district since 2018, when Jones defeated Tlaib in the race to replace the late Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D). About a month later Tlaib defeated Jones by one percentage point in a six-way primary for a new two-year term.
