Trone has also donated to Republicans where it aligns with his business interests. So his largesse is tied to his financial ambitions more than his political beliefs.
OK, he's donated about $150K to Republicans, primarily at the state level, since 2000. In contrast, in the past five years alone, he's donated about $2 million to Democrats.
On the issue of personal wealth, April has spent about $7.5 million of her own money on this race. So can you stop pretending that she's some sort of pauper? Her extraordinary wealth (estimated at approximately $50 million) comes from her husband's banking business, which serves prominent MAGA organizations.
I never said she's a pauper. It's pretty clear that the Democratic Party in Maryland can't seem to find candidates that aren't interested in lining their own pockets.

But it is an absurd amount of money. Not what candidates typically spend. So very fair to say he is trying to again buy a seat for his ego.
It's absurd for April to spend $8 million of personal money that was gained in part from banking business that serves MAGA. It really does make you wonder who's interests she's serving.
