Most incumbents cruise on D.C. Council

Amid sweeping allegations of corruption and incompetence in city government, District Democrats on Tuesday weighed the political fates of five sitting members of the D.C. Council, with nearly all easily beating back challenges and one forced to wait for results deep into the night.

At-large Councilman Vincent Orange was locked in a tight back-and-forth with former D.C. Councilman Sekou Biddle. The two men, along with two other challengers, waged an increasingly negative campaign in recent weeks.
