The Maryland cavalry is coming to Donald Trump’s aid if he can’t avoid a contested convention.

The mogul didn’t just romp in the state’s primary Tuesday, he was on pace to win all 24 delegate races on the ballot as well.

Maryland, like a handful of other states, elects its national convention delegates on the primary ballot. The twist: candidates can choose to list who they support – but only if they get written permission from the campaign. That prevents double-agents from running to fill Trump delegate slots only to backstab him at the convention.

Trump’s preferred delegate candidates held substantial leads in all eight Congressional districts, each of which will elect three to the convention. It’s a rare state delegation poised to remain overwhelmingly loyal to Trump if the convention is a multi-ballot affair.
