On Primary Election Day in Maryland, Voters Are Deciding Several Highly Competitive Races
Nine Republican candidates and 24 Democrats are competing as heavy spending and a ballot mix-up shape key races for Congress and governor.
- On Tuesday, Maryland voters selected nominees for pivotal U.S. House and gubernatorial races, determining candidates for November's general election in a heavily Democratic state where primaries often decide outcomes.
- Retiring former Democratic House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer's departure sparked a crowded 5th District race, while Democratic Gov. Wes Moore sought re-election and former Democratic Rep. David Trone challenged incumbent Democratic Rep. April McClain Delaney in the 6th District.
- In the 5th District, 24 candidates competed to succeed Hoyer, while home healthcare CEO Quincy Bareebe led fundraising there. The 6th District race proved expensive: Trone lent $25 million of his own money and McClain Delaney over $7 million.
- Maryland's closed primary system requires party affiliation to vote in partisan races. Last month, the State Board of Elections resent mail-in ballots after a vendor error; President Donald Trump claimed illegality, but election officials derided his assertion as misinformation.
- These primaries may be the last under current district boundaries; state lawmakers are considering mid-decade redistricting ahead of 2028 elections that could eliminate Maryland's lone Republican congressional seat.
