Today, it’s about housing in #Baltimore - should the city prioritize making vacant housing livable, or build new housing? Join us today and every Friday afternoon at 2 on @WYPR881FM

[Matt Bush @MattBushMD]

Back on Twitter just today just to announce this - I’m hosting a weekly show each Friday afternoon at 2 on @WYPR881FM The Friday News Roundup will look at questions facing the #Baltimore region each week, and we want you to be a part of the conversation!

[Matt Bush @MattBushMD]

And just like that...96% of #Baltimore city precincts now reporting #MDPolitics Question F (Harborplace) passing 60-40 while Question H (city council shrinking) failing 63-37 #Maryland Safe to say those are the results #Election2024

[Matt Bush @MattBushMD]

Only 36% of precincts in #Baltimore city have reported as of 11:11, so the results we've seen so far haven't changed #MDPolitics I think we'd all like to make a wish they start coming in now...

[Matt Bush @MattBushMD]

Out in MD-6 the remaining precincts to report are in Montgomery County, where Delaney is leading that race 71 to 29 #MDPolitics #Maryland #MoCo So....long way to go there as Parrott lead is now under 8k #Election2024

[Matt Bush @MattBushMD]

Out in MD-6 neither candidate is conceding or declaring victory #Maryland Republican Neil Parrott leads Democrat April Delaney by a little over 9k votes #MDPolitics 70% of precincts in #Election2024 Would be a flip to GOP, but it tooks several days to declare winner there in 2022

[Matt Bush @MattBushMD]

Given the #SelzerPoll this would be a surprise

Gov races are different than Senate races…but Maryland Dems clearly learned something from Hogan’s reelection in 2018.

They nominated a candidate who:

✅has broad ideological appeal
✅built positive, cooperative relationships with the overwhelming majority of elected MD Dems. They basically all campaigned for her.
✅could stay on and drive a message
✅could could neutralize Hogan’s personal popularity without alienating voters who cast a ballot for him.
✅effectively tied Hogan to national GOP policies instead of trying to make voters believe he was just like Trump.

77% in now in #BaltimoreCounty and Question A is passing 60-40 (55k votes) so safe to say the county council will be expanding to 9 members (and a lawsuit against the county over the proposed map for districts is ready to be filed) #MDPolitics #Maryland #Election2024

[Matt Bush @MattBushMD]

In #BaltimoreCounty with 46% of #ElectionDay precincts reporting (plus early & mail-in votes) Question A, which expands the county council by two seats, being approved 60-40 #Maryland #MDPolitics

[Matt Bush @MattBushMD]

So..........

We still have no election results posted in #Maryland. Our own @RachelBaye reports Dem leaders have told her that's because some polling stations are still open because of long lines that built up before 8 pm #Election2024 #MDPolitics

[Matt Bush @MattBushMD]

Polls have closed in #Maryland and the Associated Press projects Kamala Harris will win the state's 10 electoral votes #Election2024 #MDPolitics
