Maryland’s Democratic Governor Wes Moore has recently addressed speculation about being considered as a potential running mate for Vice President Kamala Harris. Governor Moore expressed his gratitude for the consideration but emphasized his commitment to his current role and his desire to continue serving as governor.
As a prominent figure in the Democratic party, Moore highlighted the importance of Harris selecting a running mate who provides her with a sense of comfort and can serve as a true partner in their work together. He suggested that this should be the primary criterion guiding Harris's decision-making process.
While Moore has been mentioned as a potential candidate by some sources, the Harris campaign is reportedly focusing on other individuals during the vetting process. Among those being considered are Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker.
Notably, Governor Moore recently endorsed Vice President Harris for president, demonstrating his support for her leadership and vision. Prior to President Joe Biden's decision not to seek re-election, Moore had candid conversations with Biden, where he emphasized the importance of honesty and sharing concerns within the Democratic party.
When asked about the nature of the concerns he raised with President Biden, Moore mentioned that he had conveyed the existence of significant apprehensions among fellow Democrats. This exchange underscores Moore's commitment to open communication and constructive dialogue within the party.
