In the 2024 House race for MD-2, John "Johnny O" Olszewski Jr. (D) won with 58.2% of the vote, defeating Kim Klacik (R) who received 39.5%. 2 additional candidates split the remaining vote. John "Johnny O" Olszewski Jr.'s 18.6-point advantage over the runner-up confirmed a comfortable win.

This was an open-seat race with no incumbent running — C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D) previously held the seat. Open seats typically attract stronger candidates and heavier spending from both parties. The 2024 presidential election drove higher voter turnout, which can help or hurt down-ballot candidates depending on the top of the ticket.
