Recount
When polls closed on June 25, the primary proved to be closer than expected, as no winner was declared while votes continued to be tallied. When the results were updated on July 10, Maloy was ahead of Jenkins by only 219 votes, which was less than 0.25% of the total vote, the threshold for which the state initiates an automatic recount.[30] Jenkins officially asked for a recount on July 29.[31]
Democratic primary
Brian Adams was the only Democrat to file. He faced backlash from fellow Democrats for his anti-abortion beliefs, his opposition to president Joe Biden and support for independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and for describing convicted January 6 Capitol attack participants as "politically persecuted." As a result, Adams withdrew after receiving the Democratic nomination. Democratic central committee members in the 2nd district met to choose a replacement nominee on May 25.[32] Out of eight candidates, committee members chose lawyer Nathaniel Woodward after five rounds of ranked-choice voting. In the final round, Woodward defeated the runner-up, Garret Rushforth, by just 1 vote.[33]
