Maryland's Democratic political establishment is divided over the U.S. Senate primary race between Angela Alsobrooks and David Trone. Alsobrooks gains support from local and state officials after Trone's controversial remarks about her backers. Trone's substantial financial resources face off against Alsobrooks' diverse support base, highlighting a clash of cash and diversity in the primary race.
If Angela Alsobrooks did this, basically everyone in Trone's orbit would be yelling about her being "unfit" for the seat or something. FWIW it says a lot about Trone that the *entire* Dem establishment has lined up behind a county executive over a rich, sitting Congressman. https://t.co/Zhrg1pHWYd
Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks is leaning on the Big Schlims of the world to help offset Rep. David Trone's cavernous pockets in Maryland's hard-fought Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. https://t.co/yAeaa9UB0A

A barrage of statements from local and state officials endorsing Angela Alsobrooks pushing back on David Trone referring to her Prince George's County backers as "low level."

The one thingI agree with most of the Maryland Democratic political establishment about is how bad David Trone would be as a US Senator.
