Political Notebook: Trone backs Alsobrooks after Democratic Party primary

US Rep. Trone backs County Executive Alsobrooks after primary

After an expensive United States Senate Democratic Party primary election won by Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, runner-up U.S. Rep. David Trone, D-6th, put his backing behind Alsobrooks during a show of support Thursday.

“We must unite behind Angela Alsobrooks,” said Trone, in a Maryland Democratic Party press release, which came after a party event held Thursday in Prince George’s County’s Greenbelt.

“I am grateful for Congressman Trone’s support in this race, and I commend him for stepping forward to run for the seat,” said Alsobrooks, in a campaign press release of her own Thursday.

Alsobrooks is set to be on the ballot during November’s presidential general election with former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, who won the Republican Party primary election for U.S. Senate.

Election Day is scheduled for Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
