Maryland’s Democratic Gov. Wes Moore expressed his support for Vice President Kamala Harris following President Joe Biden’s endorsement, stating that the Democratic party is currently feeling energized. Moore highlighted the enthusiasm among people to be involved and engaged, emphasizing the importance of the upcoming November elections. He noted that the party's mobilization is driven by hope for the future rather than fear of an alternative.
In a statement released on Monday, Moore endorsed Harris, praising her ability to energize the party base and mobilize a diverse coalition of voters. He commended Harris for her leadership in responding to the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse earlier this year, citing it as an example of her capabilities.
Reacting to Harris’s speech to campaign staff, Moore expressed optimism about changing the campaign's dynamics and discourse. He criticized the focus on trivial matters like speech patterns and walking gaits, urging a deeper understanding of the Republican nominee and the content of the Republican nomination convention.
When asked about the possibility of being vetted as a potential running mate for Harris, Moore did not provide a definitive answer. He acknowledged being in close contact with the Harris campaign and expressed gratitude for the consideration but affirmed his commitment to his current role as governor.
