Rep. David Trone has been staffing up for months in anticipation of Sen. Ben Cardin's retirement.
Trone, the founder of Total Wine & More, the country’s largest independent wine and spirits retailer, won a Western Maryland congressional seat in 2018. He had been preparing for a likely Cardin retirement for months, hiring staff and assembling a campaign team well before the senator revealed his plans.
His district, which spans from the outskirts of Montgomery County to the state’s border with West Virginia, is the most competitive in the state. President Joe Biden won it by 10 points in 2020. Trone won reelection in 2022 against Republican Neil Parrott by 10 points. “I’m a progressive through and through,” he said, “but at the same time, you can be a progressive, and you can work with folks that are on the other side of the aisle to accomplish things.”
Trone is willing to invest tens of millions of dollars into his statewide run, according to a person familiar with his plans who was granted anonymity because they were not at liberty to discuss them.
