Maryland Gov. Moore was just sworn in as governor in January, but his party has already begun eyeing him as a future leader and a potential presidential candidate in 2028.
BALTIMORE — The president of the United States was backstage, minutes away from speaking to a hotel ballroom here packed with House Democrats, their spouses and staffers.
Moore was just sworn in as governor in January, but Democrats are already buzzing about this rising star as a future leader of the party and a potential presidential candidate in 2028. Moore said he is pushing for Maryland to be the first state to offer a “service year” for all high school graduates and create new “economic pathways” for Marylanders who didn’t earn college degrees. He also wants the state to expedite a $15-an-hour minimum wage for workers by later this year and to tie future hikes to inflation.
But asked whether Joe Biden, 80, the country’s oldest president, should represent Democrats on the ballot in 2024, Moore didn’t hesitate to endorse him.
“We went to every single corner of the state, from western Maryland all the way to the Eastern Shore and everywhere in between, and we were able to win not just Democrats — we won independents, and we won a good chunk of Republicans,” Moore said.
