Overview
- The Associated Press projected Moore's victory on Tuesday, Nov. 3, giving the incumbent and Lt. Gov. Aruna Miller a second term while state officials complete final counts and certification.
- Moore ran on his first-term record on public safety, job creation and crisis response, citing the fast reopening of the Port of Baltimore after the 2024 Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse as a key achievement.
- Question 3, a constitutional amendment to allow the General Assembly to redraw congressional maps, was a major focus of Moore's campaign and remains subject to official tabulation and certification.
- Pre-election UMBC polling showed Moore with a large lead over Dan Cox, and campaign-day turnout and early voting were treated as decisive factors shaping the margin of victory.
- Moore's re-election boosts his national profile and fuels continued speculation about future ambitions even as he has publicly declined plans for a 2028 presidential bid and refused to promise he will serve a full second term.
