Another Democrat Wanting To Be President
While Maryland faces real issues, its governor is busy making headlines nationwide.
Maryland’s Democrat Governor Wes Moore says he’s not running for president in 2028 — but his actions suggest otherwise. Despite insisting he’s focused on his state, Moore continues to appear on liberal talk shows, deliver speeches in battleground states, and headline Democratic fundraisers in early primary hot spots.
Moore, a former nonprofit executive with strong ties to the progressive establishment, claims his priority is Maryland. But many are asking: if that’s true, why is he spending so much time chasing national media attention?
🚨 Appearances Tell a Different Story
Just days after denying presidential ambitions on ABC’s The View, Moore was spotted delivering a commencement address in Pennsylvania and promoting “patriotism” at an awards event in New York City. He’s also scheduled to headline a high-dollar Democratic fundraiser in South Carolina — a key early primary state.
Political observers aren’t fooled.
“He’s doing the exact things candidates do before they run,” said one Maryland strategist. “Big media. Early states. Donor events. That’s not accidental.”
🎭 “Not Running”… Until He Is?
Moore insists, “I’m not running.” But even The View’s liberal hosts seemed skeptical, joking about what would happen if Democrats “really, really” needed him.
It’s a familiar script. Politicians on the left often deny they’re running — until the money and media attention become too tempting to ignore.
Let’s not forget: Barack Obama claimed he would finish his Senate term — then launched his 2008 campaign. Will Moore follow the same path?
📉 Meanwhile, Back in Maryland…
While Moore builds his national profile, problems continue at home. His approval rating has already slipped in early 2025, and Republicans — including former Gov. Larry Hogan — are eyeing a comeback. Even some Democrats are preparing to challenge Moore in 2026.
A weak performance in his own reelection campaign could torpedo any hopes of higher office.
“Voters don’t forget when a governor prioritizes the national spotlight over their own state,” said longtime political analyst Fred Hicks.
🧩 Democrats in Disarray, Moore on the Rise
With President Biden fading and Vice President Harris struggling to connect with voters, the Democratic Party is in desperate need of new faces. Hollywood elites like George Clooney and celebrities like Charles Barkley are already calling Moore “the future.”
But his progressive roots and activist background may not sit well with working-class voters, especially in middle America.
Conservative voters should keep a close eye on Moore’s rise. Behind the carefully crafted image is a governor whose priorities may lie more with the national Democratic machine than with the people of Maryland.
✅ Bottom Line
Wes Moore says he’s not running for president. But appearances, actions, and the Democrat playbook suggest otherwise.
As the liberal media promotes another “charismatic” progressive, Americans — especially conservatives — must ask: Is this another carefully manufactured candidate built to serve the radical left?
