Incumbent Mayor Brandon Scott is the projected winner of the 2024 Democratic primary for Baltimore mayor, according to the Associated Press.
Scott secured the nomination over former mayor, Sheila Dixon, whose tenure was cut short in 2010 after she took a plea deal for misappropriating gift cards meant for poor families.
Scott is now considered the prohibitive favorite in the November general election in the heavily Democratic city.

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott is reinstating a face mask mandate as of 9 a.m. Monday for both vaccinated and unvaccinated people.
Brandon Scott, a 36-year-old Democrat, was sworn-in as Baltimore’s new mayor Tuesday afternoon in a private ceremony inside City Hall.
Scott, who’s the city’s 52nd mayor, is starting his new job at a historically tough time. The city has recorded more than 300 homicides for the sixth year in a row, and its population, businesses and tax revenues have not been spared by the coronavirus pandemic.
