Wes Moore Secures Maryland Rematch With Dan Cox as 2 Costly House Primaries End

Summary
Maryland's Tuesday primary set up a general-election rematch between Democratic Gov. Wes Moore and MAGA-aligned Republican Dan Cox, while also deciding two closely watched U.S. House contests.
Two House races drew outsized money and attention — one ranked among the nation's most expensive and another heavily backed by special-interest spending — making the primary a test of influence as well as candidates.
Moore had already locked up the Democratic nomination in a lopsided primary win, clearing the way for a repeat of the 2022 governor's race against Cox.
In deeply Democratic Maryland, the primary effectively determined several key officeholders and now shifts focus to whether Republicans can make the governor's race or the House seats more competitive in November.
