Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Ill., won the Democratic primary in Illinois’ 3rd District Tuesday night, surviving an unexpected challenge from the Left in a race that highlighted a longstanding rift in the party over abortion rights.

Progressive candidate Marie Newman did not concede the race when speaking to supporters after midnight and Lipinski did not declare victory. But Lipinski eked out a victory with 50.9 percent of the vote to Newman’s 49.1 percent, with 97 percent of precincts reporting.
