POTOMAC, Md. (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton took his wife’s place at a fundraiser for Maryland Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown on Tuesday, helping to raise more than $1 million for Brown’s campaign for governor.

Hillary Rodham Clinton had been scheduled to attend the fundraiser in a posh Washington suburb at the home of wine superstore owner David Trone. But the former secretary of state begged off following the birth of the couple’s first grandchild Friday night. The former president was in North Carolina earlier Tuesday for a fundraising luncheon for U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, a first-term Democrat running for re-election, and added the Maryland stop.
