David Trone, the Democratic nominee in a race for Maryland's 6th District seat, said he will resume campaigning after recovering from surgery. In June, Trone defeated seven opponents seeking the Democratic nomination in the district, his second attempt to win a House seat. In 2016, he lost the Democratic nomination for the 8th District seat now occupied by Rep. Jamie B. Raskin (D), despite spending $13 million. Trone knew about his cancer diagnosis on the night he won the primary but had shared the news only with his family. “It’s in­cred­ibly offensive that Amie Hoeber’s Republican attack dogs are playing politics with news about David Trone’s health,” said Jerid Kurtz, Trone’s campaign manager.
