Delaney edges Trone to keep Maryland’s 6th District in Democratic hands

Rep. April McClain Delaney won a bitter, multi‑million dollar Democratic primary for Maryland’s 6th District, denying former Rep. David Trone a comeback. Backed by the state’s Democratic delegation and Gov. Wes Moore, Delaney’s win comes as the race underscored debates over Trump, money in politics and immigration, including her previous vote for the Laken Riley Act which she later said she regretted. Trone self-funded his challenge after giving up the seat to run for Senate in 2024; the district remains safely Democratic.

A POLITICO poll conducted with Public First finds about 72% of Americans say there is too much money in U.S. politics, with broad cross‑party concern that wealth and outside groups shape or even buy election outcomes; Democrats are more likely to oppose money in politics, while Republicans show less intense views. The survey also notes record midterm spending and a rising role for outside money tied to AI, crypto and other industries, contributing to a sense that voters have too little power and that billionaire influence is outsized.

Datacenters as a Bipartisan Frustration, Yet Policy Stalls

Datacenters have become a rare cross‑partisan flashpoint in the US, provoking broad local opposition while federal and state lawmakers struggle to counter industry-backed subsidies; Michigan’s stalled repeal of tax credits contrasts with ongoing, low-job, high-cost projects and a web of influence from tech, fossil fuels, and unions, illustrating how money and inertia impede decisive policy.
