The 2024 Maryland Democratic presidential primary took place on May 14, 2024, as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election, alongside two other state contests. 95 delegates to the Democratic National Convention were allocated, with 23 additional unpledged delegates.[1]
Incumbent President Joe Biden announced his bid for a second term on April 25, 2023.[2] Biden easily won the primary. While the option for uncommitted delegates, strengthened by the Uncommitted National Movement, received nearly 10% of the vote, it was not enough to win any delegates.[3]
