Ivey defeats Edwards in bitter, high-profile Md. primary for House

Glenn Ivey, the former top prosecutor in Prince George’s County, has defeated ex-congresswoman Donna Edwards in Maryland’s 4th Congressional District, according to a projection from the Associated Press, positioning him to join the U.S. House after an acrimonious campaign. The race in the deep-blue, Prince George’s-anchored district was Tuesday’s highest-profile Maryland congressional primary. Elsewhere, Republicans notably selected Del. Neil Parrott (R-Washington County) to take on Rep. David Trone (D-Md.) in a 6th District rematch that’s likely to be November’s most competitive House race in the state.
