On Monday, Governor Wes Moore of Maryland, a Democrat, announced his endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, citing her experience, record, vision, and wisdom as qualities that make her capable of unifying the country.
Gov. Moore had been a staunch supporter of President Biden, even defending him against calls to drop out of the race in recent weeks. However, following Biden's decision to suspend his campaign for re-election, Moore has shifted his allegiance to Harris.
Speculation had been rife about Gov. Moore potentially entering the Democratic nomination race to succeed Biden. Nevertheless, with his public endorsement of Harris, he has put an end to such rumors.
There is now talk of Gov. Moore being considered as a potential running mate for Harris on the 2024 ticket. He joins a group of popular Democratic governors who are also being discussed in similar contexts.
