<p>Rep. David Trone (D-MD), who is running for a U.S. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-senate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate</a> seat in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/maryland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maryland</a> and is facing fallout after uttering a racial slur, canceled events after his doctor referred him to the hospital due to illness, his campaign said on Sunday.</p>
<p>&#8220;Last night following an event, David felt dehydrated and began to register a fever. Out of an abundance of caution David&#8217;s doctor encouraged him to seek further testing at a local hospital,&#8221; Team Trone <a href="https://twitter.com/davidjtrone/status/1776990967465148658" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement.</p>
<p>&#8220;David is feeling well and expecting to return home this afternoon,&#8221; it added. &#8220;We apologize for the late cancellation of events David was expected to participate in today, and look forward to being back on the trail soon.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trone had been scheduled to participate in a debate against a rival Democrat, Prince George&#8217;s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, on Sunday. The event will go forward without him and focus on the recent Key Bridge collapse, said a local official, <a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/2024/04/07/david-trone-hospitalized-senate-debate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to The Baltimore Sun</a>.</p>
<p>Trone and Alsobrooks are running for the seat held by retiring Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) in the primary scheduled for next month. They face a Republican challenger in former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/maryland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maryland</a> GOP Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/larry-hogan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Larry Hogan</a>, who has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/larry-hogan-leads-maryland-democrat-rivals-by-double-digits-in-senate-race-poll" target="_blank" rel="noopener">performed</a> well in polling since entering the contest. Both Alsobrooks and Hogan wished Trone well on Sunday.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sending our best wishes to Congressman Trone and hope he gets better soon. Looking forward to seeing him back on the trail,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/AlsobrooksForMD/status/1777015263411544177" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> a post to X from Alsobrooks.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sending our best wishes to Congressman Trone. Hope he feels better and can get back out on the campaign trail soon,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/GovLarryHogan/status/1776998288647929982" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> one from Hogan&#8217;s account.</p>

<p>Trone, who has spent more than $20 million on the race, faced blowback after saying a racial slur <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/25/us/politics/angela-alsobrooks-endorsements-david-trone.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8212; &#8220;jigaboo&#8221; &#8212;</a>  while talking about tax rates during a congressional hearing a couple weeks ago. Since that time, Axios <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/03/24/maryland-senate-race-alsobrooks-endorsements-trone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> several black Democrats have since endorsed Alsobrooks, <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/3-black-women-aim-historic-senate-wins-2024/story?id=107519764" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who is black</a>. And Trone <a href="https://freebeacon.com/democrats/david-trone-backs-out-of-debate-with-african-american-primary-opponent-amid-backlash-over-use-of-racial-slur/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">backed out</a> of another debate with her.</p>
<p>In an apology, Trone said he meant to say &#8220;bugaboo&#8221; and instead used an &#8220;offensive&#8221; phrase, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/congressman-apology-racial-slur-mistake-3cfe6c5299cbceff05d138e8479ef168" target="_blank" rel="noopener">per the Associated Press</a>. &#8220;That word has a long dark terrible history. It should never be used any time, anywhere, in any conversation. I recognize that as a white man, I have privilege. And as an elected official, I have a responsibility for the words I use — especially in the heat of the moment. Regardless of what I meant to say, I shouldn’t have used that language.&#8221;</p>
