Maryland Gov. Wes Moore appeared on “The View” to discuss his achievements and future political ambitions.
During the interview, Moore highlighted his administration’s accomplishments, saying, “We passed the most aggressive housing package of any governor in recent history.”
He also expressed his frustrations with the political climate in Washington, saying, “I think there’s a level of frustration. There’s not a chaos… it’s an anger.”
Political scientist John Dedie criticized the interview, describing it as “softball galore without follow-ups” and suggesting that Moore’s portrayal of Maryland’s state of affairs was skewed.
“It sounds good, but the reality of what happened in Maryland is two different things,” Dedie said.
Moore, who has been a frequent guest on national television, has long faced questions about his political future.
When asked about a potential 2028 presidential run recently, Moore responded, “I am not focused on anything except making sure that this is Maryland’s decade.”
On “The View,” he further clarified his stance, stating, “I am not running. I’m not running.”
Despite the speculation, experts believe Moore’s national appearances benefit him more than the state.
“He has much more to gain than the state of Maryland has to gain by him doing the interviews,” said Dedie. “But in politics, it’s about ‘I,’ it’s about me… it’s about how will this help me.”
