Democratic Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland has won the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in the solidly blue Mid-Atlantic state. Moore and his running mate, Lt. Gov. Aruna Miller, easily dispatched a primary challenge from Eric Felber and his running mate, LaTrece Hawkins Lytes.
Background
Moore, a 47-year-old Army veteran and Rhodes Scholar, is viewed as a rising star in the party. He has had a combustible relationship with former President Donald Trump, which has included very public feuds and verbal sparring, and clashes over policy.
Moore is running for re-election this year amid speculation that he also is eyeing a run for the White House in 2028, in the race to succeed term-limited President Trump. However, Moore has consistently ruled out running for the White House in 2028, saying that his political focus is on his home state and his 2026 re-election.
