前马里兰州联邦众议员戴维·特龙(民主党)在竞选中投入数百万个人财富,试图推翻现任民主党议员重返国会,但最终未能成功。

据美联社报道,马里兰州联邦众议员埃布尔·麦克莱恩·德莱尼(民主党)于周二在马里兰州西部一处被不公正划分选区的众议院席位激烈的初选中击败特龙。

这场党内竞争是2026年选举周期中耗资最高的初选之一,两位候选人都动用了巨额财富为各自的竞选造势,总花费超过3200万美元。

目前尚不清楚总花费是否超过了肯塔基州初选——该初选导致肯塔基州联邦众议员托马斯·马西(共和党)落选,近期该初选被评为美国史上耗资最高的众议院初选。

国土安全部回击民主党亿万富翁戴维·特龙指控移民海关执法局“处决民众”

作为酒类零售商Total Wine & More的亿万富翁创始人,特龙在此次竞选中投入了超过2500万美元的个人财富。德莱尼是曾在拜登政府任职的新晋议员,她至少自掏腰包700万美元,以抵御特龙的初选挑战,争取连任第二届众议院议员。

她此前曾在拜登政府商务部担任政治任命官员。

尽管两位候选人在政策上几乎没有分歧,但特龙尖锐批评德莱尼在2025年初投票支持共和党起草的《莱肯·莱利法案》。德莱尼后来表示,她对支持该法案感到后悔,该法案要求拘留被指控或定罪犯有特定罪行的非法移民。

德莱尼还谴责特龙在一则宣传其捍卫堕胎权的广告中声称得到前国务卿希拉里·克林顿的支持,尽管特龙并未获得正式背书。

特龙曾在该选区担任三届众议员,此前曾投入超过6000万美元个人财富参与2024年参议院竞选但失败,最终败给了现任马里兰州联邦参议员安吉拉·阿尔索布鲁克斯(民主党)。值得注意的是,他此前曾背书德莱尼接替他在国会的席位。

从沃瑟曼·舒尔茨到戈德曼,民主党现任议员都在为生存而战

马里兰州民主党领导层团结支持德莱尼的竞选,这是一场针对特龙的颠覆性竞选的显著团结行动。马里兰州州长韦斯·摩尔(民主党)、参议员克里斯·范·霍伦和安吉拉·阿尔索布鲁克斯(民主党)、联邦众议员杰米·拉斯金(民主党)以及前众议院少数党领袖斯坦尼·霍耶(民主党)都背书了德莱尼的连任竞选。

众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯(民主党,纽约州)和前众议院议长南希·佩洛西(民主党,加利福尼亚州)也支持德莱尼的竞选。

与此同时,特龙则宣传得到该州最大教师工会的背书。

德莱尼和特龙都不在该选区内居住,该选区从该州农村、倾向共和党的西北部地区延伸至民主党占绝对优势的郊区蒙哥马利县和弗雷德里克县。两位民主党议员都住在华盛顿特区附近的富裕郊区马里兰州波托马克市。

2024年,唐纳德·特朗普总统仅以6个百分点之差输掉了这个倾向民主党的选区,但全国共和党并未将该席位视为重要的夺盘机会。

德莱尼的丈夫约翰·德莱尼曾在2013年至2019年代表该选区,随后在2020年参与总统竞选但失败。

Former Rep. David Trone, D-Md., fell short in his comeback bid to return to Congress after pouring millions of his personal fortune into the race to unseat an incumbent Democrat.

Rep. April McClain Delaney, D-Md., defeated Trone on Tuesday in a bruising primary battle for a gerrymandered House seat in western Maryland, according to The Associated Press.

The intraparty contest was one of the costliest primaries of the 2026 cycle, with more than $32 million spent between both candidates, who had considerable wealth at their disposal to boost their respective campaigns.

It is unclear whether total spending eclipsed the Kentucky primary battle that resulted in the defeat of Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., which recently earned the title of the nation’s most expensive House primary.

Trone, the billionaire founder of the alcohol retailer Total Wine & More, put more than $25 million of his wealth into the race. Delaney, a freshman lawmaker who served in the Biden administration, spent at least $7 million of her own money to fend off Trone’s primary challenge for a second House term.

She previously served in the Biden administration as a political appointee in the Commerce Department.

Though both candidates had few policy differences, Trone sharply criticized Delaney for voting for the GOP-authored Laken Riley Act in early 2025. Delaney later said she regretted supporting the law, which requires the detention of illegal immigrants accused or convicted of certain crimes.

Delaney also denounced Trone for touting support from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in an advertisement focused on his defense of abortion rights, despite not receiving a formal endorsement.

Trone, who represented the district for three terms, previously bankrolled a failed 2024 Senate bid with more than $60 million of his fortune, losing to now-Sen. Angela Alsobrooks, D-Md. He notably endorsed Delaney to succeed him in Congress.

FROM WASSERMAN SCHULTZ TO GOLDMAN, DEMOCRATIC INCUMBENTS ARE FIGHTING FOR SURVIVAL

Maryland’s Democratic establishment rallied around Delaney’s campaign in a notable display of unity against Trone’s insurgent campaign. Gov. Wes Moore, D-Md., Sens. Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks, D-Md., Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., and former House Minority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., endorsed Delaney’s re-election campaign.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., also backed Delaney’s campaign.

Meanwhile, Trone touted the endorsement of the state’s largest teachers union.

Neither Delaney nor Trone reside in the district, which stretches from the rural, Republican-leaning northwestern corner of the state to the heavily Democratic and suburban Montgomery and Frederick counties. Both Democrats live in the affluent Potomac, Md., suburb near Washington, D.C.

President Donald Trump came within six points of winning the Democratic-leaning district in 2024, but national Republicans do not view the seat as a top pickup opportunity.

Delaney’s husband, John Delaney, previously represented the seat from 2013 to 2019 before launching a failed campaign for president in 2020.
