Trone lent himself $25 million during the campaign but failed to unseat the incumbent who had taken his former seat.
Delaney's win prevents Trone from returning to Congress after leaving office to run for Senate. The contest was described by one outlet as bitter, reflecting the intensity of the race between the sitting representative and her predecessor.
In a separate Democratic primary, Adrian Boafo secured the nomination to succeed a retiring member of Congress. Maryland voters participated in multiple House primary contests on the same day.
