The race for Maryland’s 6th Congressional District is still too close to call, with Democrat April McClain Delaney and Republican Neil Parrott in a neck-and-neck contest. With over 320,000 votes counted, Delaney leads by just 300 votes, making it a highly competitive race that could determine if the district remains Democratic or flips to Republican representation.
Delaney has focused her campaign on issues impacting women, including reproductive rights, while Parrott has prioritized lowering inflation, strengthening the economy, and addressing illegal immigration. Both candidates have sought to paint each other as extreme and out of touch with everyday Americans, with Delaney being criticized for living outside the district in an affluent suburb and Parrott for his long-time residency in a small city surrounded by farmland.
Tensions between the candidates have escalated, culminating in a heated exchange at a public forum last month, reflecting the increasingly contentious and personal nature of down-ballot races in today’s political climate.
With 84% of votes counted, Delaney currently holds a slight lead over Parrott, but the final outcome remains uncertain. The race has drawn national attention as it will determine the future representation of Maryland’s 6th District, which covers a mix of rural and suburban areas. FOX 5’s David Kaplan is reporting live from Germantown, keeping viewers updated on this closely watched race.
