McNegro Wes Moore: ‘I’m not running for President’ in 2028

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has again ruled out running for president in 2028, saying Sunday that he will serve a full second term if reelected governor next year.

“Yes, I’ll be serving a full term. I’m excited about reelection,” Moore told anchor Kristen Welker on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday morning. “I’m excited about what I’m going to be able to do for the people of Maryland.”

As Moore has not formally launched his 2026 gubernatorial campaign, Welker then asked if he would “completely rule out” running for president. The governor responded that he is “so excited” about Maryland’s progress on unemployment and violent crime.

“We’ve had amongst the fastest drops in violent crime anywhere in the United States of America,” Moore said. “Our population is growing, Maryland is moving, and so I’m really excited about going back in front of the people of my state and asking for another term.” [MORE]
