Summary
Wes Moore had 173,417 votes, or 88.6%, when the AP called Maryland’s Democratic gubernatorial primary, far ahead of Eric S. Felber’s 11.4%.
The result came with 32% of the vote reported, giving the incumbent governor an overwhelming margin in his bid for a second term.
Moore and Lt. Gov. Aruna Miller now advance toward the general election, where Republicans were still counting a primary led by Dan Cox at 42.9% with 39% reporting.
The decisive win keeps Moore—already the nation’s only Black governor—on a national political radar he has said he is not using to pursue a 2028 White House run.
