MD-06: Former Rep. David Trone launches primary challenge to successor in Maryland

Former Maryland Rep. David Trone, who unsuccessfully ran for Senate last year, is seeking a comeback to the House, he announced Thursday.

“I can’t just sit by. We need to all stand up,” Trone said in a launch video posted to social media. “I’ve taken on [Donald Trump] before, voting twice to impeach him, vowing to save Obamacare, and repeatedly standing up for women’s reproductive rights in the face of his threats.”

Trone’s decision sets up a primary battle with his 6th District successor, Rep. April McClain Delaney, whose husband, John Delaney, held the seat before Trone. Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales first reported last month that Trone was considering entering the race.

McClain Delaney shot back at Trone on Thursday, saying that representing the 6th District was “not a consolation prize.”
