PHILADELPHIA— When Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner announced he was running for a third term in office, he said he was motivated in part by the people who have tried to stop him: the lawmakers who impeached him, the Democratic establishment who opposed him, and the president who has vilified him.

The Associated Press called the race at 9:16 p.m. Tuesday, shortly after polls closed.
