Congressional candidate Kimberly Klacik, who describes herself as pro-Trump, has won the Republican primary in a bid to represent the Maryland district that was once held by the late Elijah Cummings according to The Washington Examiner.
After a public announcement that Klacik had won the Republican nomination for the U.S. House of Representatives in Maryland’s 7th congressional district, she took to Twitter and stated, “I’m literally in tears.”
Klacik is trying to represent Maryland’s 7th District, which includes more than half of Baltimore City, parts of Baltimore County, and the majority of Howard County.
The district has been a Democratic stronghold for several decades and was led by the late Cummings, who has represented the area in Congress from 1996 until his death last year in 2019.
Klacik is gearing up for November, when she’ll go up against Democratic Rep. Kweisi Mfume, who defeated her in a special election two months ago in April to complete the rest of Cummings’s term.
