Democrat Alsobrooks wins Maryland US Senate primary

Democrat Angela Alsobrooks won a U.S. Senate primary in Maryland on Tuesday, setting up a November matchup with popular former Governor Larry Hogan, while in West Virginia, House Republican Carol Miller fended off a challenger who joined the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.
In another high-profile primary race, a former U.S. Capitol police officer who defended lawmakers that day, Harry Dunn, lost his Democratic primary for U.S. House in Maryland to state Senator Sarah Elfreth, Edison Research projected.
The party primaries across three states are part of a series of contests through September that will set the stage for the Nov. 5 elections when control of the U.S. Congress and White House are on the line.
Republicans will be defending a narrow House majority, currently 217-213 with five vacancies, while Democrats are expected to have an uphill battle trying to hold their 51-49 Senate majority as they defend incumbents in a half-dozen competitive states.
