Blue state Dem in hot water for racial slur sets new record in Senate primary
Fox News
Democratic Rep. David Trone is the largest self-funded candidate of a Senate primary race after contributing $18.5 million to his Maryland Senate campaign.
"David Trone has been crystal clear that he’s prepared to do whatever it takes to beat Larry Hogan in November and protect the Democratic Senate majority," the Trone campaign said in a statement. "With national Republicans and right-wing donors flooding Maryland with contributions to Hogan, there has never been a more important time to take the fight directly to Mitch McConnell, Larry Hogan and Donald Trump. David Trone is the best candidate to do that." Aubrie Spady is a Production Assistant for Fox News Digital.
Trone recently uttered a racial slur while speaking on tax policy during a House Budget Committee hearing in March, later admitting to the remark, but saying he intended to use a different term.
