The most costly primaries you've never heard of are raging on D.C.'s doorstep

In the Maryland suburbs just outside Washington, D.C., two House races are breaking records for spending in congressional primaries, making them the most expensive in U.S. history. This surge in cash has sparked concerns about whether there's such a thing as too much money in politics, with voters increasingly questioning the frequency of campaign ads. The implications could be significant, as these races highlight a growing trend in political finance that may shape future elections and influence public perception of campaign spending.
