Maryland’s 2nd congressional district maintains a D+10 Cook Partisan Voter Index and produced an 18-point Democratic margin in 2024, anchoring trader expectations for the November 3 general election. Incumbent Democrat Johnny Olszewski consolidated support by winning his June primary with roughly 85 percent of the vote, while Republican Dave Wallace emerged from a low-turnout contest. Forecasters across Cook, Sabato’s Crystal Ball, Inside Elections, and Decision Desk HQ classify the seat as Solid or Safe Democratic, reinforced by Olszewski’s substantial cash-on-hand advantage. A national Republican wave, major scandal, or unforeseen health development could still compress the margin, yet the district’s consistent baseline and early candidate consolidation limit realistic pathways for an upset.
