ELECTION 2024: FOLLOW LATEST COVERAGE

There were several open House seats hanging in the balance Tuesday night. In Maryland, Trone’s seat in the 6th District was open as he chased moving to the upper chamber. Former Commerce Department official April McClain Delaney is now the Democratic nominee and will face Republican Neil Parrott, a former state delegate, in the general election.

Former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn lost his bid for Maryland’s 3rd District to state Sen. Sarah K. Elfreth. Elfreth will face Republican Robert Steinberger.

Meanwhile, in West Virginia, Rep. Alex Mooney’s (R-WV) 2nd Congressional District seat is open as he hoped to flip the seat held by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV). State Treasurer Riley Moore will face Democrat Steven Wendelin in November.

Mooney’s bid for the Republican nomination was stymied by Gov. Jim Justice, who will face Wheeling Mayor Glenn Elliott in November.

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump increased their number of delegates ahead of their party’s nominating conventions later this year. Both candidates surpassed their parties’ thresholds to become the presumptive nominees shortly after Super Tuesday.
