David Trone, the Maryland Congressman seeking to succeed U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin, was released from the hospital on Monday after he cancelled an anticipated debate against Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks in Dundalk on Sunday.
“Hey folks, [I] just left the hospital and I’m feeling great (despite not having the best hair day)!” Trone wrote on X. “Per doctor’s orders, I’m taking the afternoon to rest. I’m sorry we had to cancel events the past few days but I can’t wait to be back out there, meeting & listening to Marylanders!”
Trone’s campaign said Sunday morning that he had sought medical treatment due to dehydration and fever, and cancelled his Sunday scheduled activities, out of “an abundance of caution.”
Trone was expected to face his Democratic primary opponent at a debate in Dundalk on Sunday afternoon hosted by the Baltimore County and Baltimore City Democratic Central committees.
Instead, Alsobrooks held a town hall where she answered questions from the audience on her response to the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, reproductive rights, and the conflict in Gaza.
Cardin announced last May that he wouldn’t seek reelection after nearly six decades in Maryland politics. The Republican frontrunner in the Senate race is Larry Hogan, the former governor of Maryland.
