Jamie Raskin’s announcement is the latest in a string of endorsements for Angela Alsobrooks over David Trone, who apologized for using a derogatory term.
“I’m supporting for the U.S. Senate. She’s going to deliver for the people in Maryland every day,” Raskinon Monday. “She’s going to be defending democracy and freedom against Donald Trump and the MAGA Right.”
The group of Democrats did not mention Trone’s use of the racial slur in their endorsement decision, but the support is notable considering several of the party’s top leaders, such as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Minority Whip Katherine Clark , have previously thrown their support behind Trone.
Trone later apologized, clarifying he meant to use the word “bugaboo.” However, he said, he acknowledged he must take responsibility for his comments as an elected official.
