Episode Details

Maryland Governor Wes Moore is sounding the alarm over potential federal interference in the upcoming midterms, warning that President Trump could misuse federal power to disrupt elections—drawing from past attempts to restrict mail-in voting and harvest voter data. As chair of the National Governors Association, Moore is rallying states to defend their constitutional authority over elections, even as tensions simmer with Trump, who reportedly blocked Moore from a White House meeting earlier this year. Beyond election defense, Moore is pushing his national “Service United” initiative—a $10 million philanthropic effort to create service-based job pathways for young people, expanding Maryland’s apprenticeship model and gaining bipartisan support, including from GOP chair Kevin Stitt. Yet, Moore faces internal party fractures and deep political divides as he navigates leadership of the NGA. While speculation swirls about a 2028 presidential run, Moore insists his focus remains on protecting election integrity and empowering youth through opportunity.
