Maryland GOP Primary Too Close to Call

Maryland’s Republican gubernatorial primary turned into a nail-biter as Dan Cox and Ed Hale battled neck-and-neck, with the winner shaping the GOP’s path against Democrat Wes Moore in November. Cox, a Trump-aligned conservative, clashed with Hale, a moderate ex-Democrat who sought to broaden the party’s appeal. Both hammered economic issues, with Hale accusing Cox’s campaign of playing politics to soften Moore’s edge. Meanwhile, Moore cruised to the Democratic nomination, setting up a showdown with either candidate. Other races saw incumbents hold strong, while ballot distribution woes sparked voter frustration — and some voters cast ballots in person to avoid the chaos.
