Overview

  • The Maryland governor said, “Yeah, I’m not running for president,” ending months of speculation about a potential 2028 campaign.
  • Moore pointed to state gains including lower unemployment, a sharp drop in violent crime, and population growth as reasons to stay focused on Maryland.
  • He reaffirmed his clash with President Trump over Baltimore, saying he welcomes FBI, ATF and funding support but not a National Guard deployment.
  • Before his announcement, Moore was frequently listed among top Democratic prospects for 2028, including on betting markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket.
  • He said all options are on the table in the national redistricting fight, even as he criticized gerrymandering as harmful to democratic integrity.
