Rep. David Trone, founder of Total Wine & More, has officially launched his bid for the Democratic nomination to replace retiring Sen. Ben Cardin in Maryland.

His primary competition is likely to include Montgomery County Council Member Will Jawando and Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks. Trone is willing to invest tens of millions of dollars into his statewide run, and his campaign manager will be Dan Morrocco. The biggest remaining question mark is whether Rep. Jamie Raskin will enter the race.

"Trone Enters Maryland Senate Race as Hogan Declines, Cardin's Retirement Looms"

Maryland Rep. David Trone has announced his candidacy for the Senate, joining a competitive Democratic primary for the seat of retiring Sen. Ben Cardin. Trone, who has self-funded his previous campaigns, could bring significant personal resources to the race. Montgomery County Councilmember Will Jawando launched his bid earlier this week, and other big names like Rep. Jamie Raskin could also be in the mix for the Democratic nomination. The general election isn’t likely to be competitive in a state that President Joe Biden carried by 33 points in 2020.
