Maryland Gov. Wes Moore Rules Out 2028 Presidential Run

Maryland Governor Wes Moore has definitively ruled out a presidential run in 2028, emphasizing his commitment to serving a full term as governor and focusing on the progress in his state. On NBC's "Meet the Press," Moore highlighted Maryland's significant accomplishments under his leadership, including one of the lowest unemployment rates and a notable drop in violent crime, and expressed excitement about seeking reelection in 2026. While rumors and speculation about his potential presidential ambitions persist, Moore reiterated that his priority remains Maryland. The governor also addressed the national redistricting debate, condemning gerrymandering as a democratic flaw and suggesting all options, including redrawing districts, remain on the table. Despite some Republican speculation about broader political ambitions, Moore's statements have consistently underscored his dedication to his current role and the people of Maryland. President Donald Trump, who will reach his term limit in 2028, has had public disagreements with Moore, but Moore remains focused on state governance.
