In the lone debate of his reelection campaign, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore’s toughest question was about his own future.
Moore (D) is in a rematch against Republican Dan Cox, a former state delegate aligned with President Donald Trump. Moore beat Cox in this deeply blue state by 32 percentage points four years ago. Moore has raised 72 times more than Cox, banking $17.4 million to Cox’s $242,000.
Moore has previously said he’s focused on the midterm and his own reelection campaign but wants to be “part of the conversation” about the 2028 presidential campaign.
Asked in Tuesday’s debate if he would commit to serving four years if reelected, Moore said that he was committed to serving the people of Maryland and their interests, including defending them from the Trump administration.
Pressed to give a yes or no, Moore responded, “I think I gave the answer. I’m committed to the people of Maryland, and that’s why I’m running for reelection.”
He continued: “We all need to be part of this larger conversation.”
