Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) faces nominal primary opposition and is projected to breeze past his GOP opponent in the fall to secure a second six-year term.<\/p>\n<p>Altogether, there are 65 candidates on Maryland\u2019s eight congressional primary ballots, including 31 Democrats and 34 Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>Those 65 candidates include the seven congressional incumbents who all boast massive funding advantages over primary challengers and are projected to advance to the general election.<\/p>\n<p>Among those seven incumbents is Maryland\u2019s only Republican House member, six-term Rep. Andrew Harris (R-Md.), who is the only sitting rep not being tested in a primary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In deep-blue Maryland where seven of the state\u2019s eight congressional districts are represented by Democrats,\u00a0redistricting has provided Republicans with a perceived opportunity to capture a U.S. House seat.
