Rep. David Trone, D-Md., the Democrat frontrunner in Maryland's contentious Senate race, dropped a racial slur during a House Budget Committee hearing.
The Democrat frontrunner in what could be one of the most closely watched Senate races this year uttered a racial slur during a Thursday House Budget Committee hearing, something he says was unintentional. Rep. David Trone, D-Md., dropped the disparaging term for Black people while speaking during the hearing about tax policy with Shalanda Young, the director of the Office of Budget and Management, who was testifying before the committee.
Earlier this week, Trone faced heat for other comments he made at a candidate forum earlier this month in which he declared his support for granting citizenship and voting rights to the millions of illegal immigrants residing in the U.S. He holds a fundraising and polling advantage among a crowded Democrat primary field. His closest challenger is Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, who is Black. Fox News Digital has reached out to Alsobrooks for comment.
He will likely face Maryland's former Republican governor, Larry Hogan, in the general election. Early polls suggested a tight race between the two. However, a Washington Post/University of Maryland poll released Wednesday showed Hogan with a double-digit lead.
