Shake hands, hug, kiss and be friends again.
That’s what members of the Maryland Democratic Party did Thursday morning at a unity breakfast nine days after the primary election that ended a heated contest between Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks and U.S. Rep. David Trone (D-6th) for the party’s nomination for U.S. Senate.
Trone, who lost that race to Alsobrooks, walked to the stage as “kumbaya” blared through the speakers Thursday.
“Soak it in. Kumbaya,” he said to his fellow Democrats at Martin’s Crosswinds in Greenbelt, the same venue where Alsobrooks held her election night watch party.
Although part of Thursday’s mood was festive as some sipped coffee, water or juice and nibbled pastries, messages from Trone and other speakers centered on the Republican nominee, former Gov. Larry Hogan, and the need for Democrats to retain control of the Senate.
“We must unite behind County Executive Angela Alsobrooks. Angela has my full endorsement,” Trone said to cheers from the crowd. “It’s easy to cheer, but it’s hard to work. The difference of Angela Alsobrooks and Larry Hogan is night and day.”
