A debate between leading Democratic candidates in the race to represent Maryland in the Senate has been canceled after Rep. David Trone, D-Md., declined to commit to the event scheduled for April 23. Trone, who is running against Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, cited scheduling concerns, including the recent Baltimore bridge collapse and the House schedule, as reasons for his inability to participate.
Trone's campaign defended its decision by stating that the congressman had already committed to over a dozen public forums and a televised debate. The campaign spokesperson mentioned that details of a separate televised debate between Trone and Alsobrooks would be announced soon.
