Grok makes this so much easier;
Here's a labeled breakdown of Maryland's key counties, combining
recent racial/ethnic demographics (primarily based on 2020 Census with updates from 2023-2024 estimates where available; non-Hispanic unless noted) with
political lean from the 2024 presidential election (Kamala Harris/D vs. Donald Trump/R results, including winner and approximate margin). Percentages are approximate and rounded for clarity.
Demographics shift slowly, but populous diverse areas drive Democratic strength, while rural, predominantly White areas lean Republican. Harris won statewide ~62.6% to Trump's ~34.1%.

For the latest precise figures, check the Maryland State Board of Elections (for voting) or U.S. Census Bureau (for demographics, including Vintage 2024 estimates). Since you're in Prince George's County (heavily Democratic and majority Black), that aligns with the strong D lean there!
