Kweisi Mfume Wins Maryland Primary

Veteran Congressman Kweisi Mfume wins Maryland’s Democratic primary with a decisive victory over challenger Mark Conway, cementing his return to Congress after a two-decade hiatus. Mfume, who first served in 1987 and returned in 2020, leveraged his deep roots in Baltimore and record of public service to fend off Conway’s bid for a younger voice. Conway, chair of the city council’s Public Safety Committee, faced criticism for using his current role to boost his campaign. With Maryland’s heavily Democratic districts, the primary winners are virtually guaranteed to win November’s general election — including Mfume, who now faces Republican Scott Collier. Across the state, other incumbents like Johnny Olszewski Jr., Sarah Elfreth, Glenn Ivey, and Jamie Raskin also secured their party’s nominations, signaling a strong incumbent tide as the election cycle heats up.
