Impact on his primary run?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/03/21/david-trone-congress-racial-insult/Senate hopeful Rep. David Trone (D) used a racial slur during a congressional budget hearing Thursday and later apologized, saying he misspoke and did not know what the word meant.
Trone dropped a derogatory word for Black people into a brief speech praising President Biden’s tax proposals toward the end of a friendly exchange with the director of the Office of Budget and Management.
“So this Republican ji----o that it’s the tax rate that’s stopping business investment, it’s just completely faulty by people who have never run a business,....”
“Today while attempting to use the word bugaboo in a hearing, I misspoke and mistakenly used a phrase that is offensive. Upon learning the meaning of the word I was deeply disappointed to have accidentally used it, and I apologize,” the statement said.
