Moore says NGA can help safeguard state election oversight
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said in an interview that he is “very concerned” President Donald Trump will use the power of the federal government to interfere with the midterm elections this fall.
Moore, a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender, said the National Governors Association, a bipartisan group, has a role in ensuring states are able to oversee elections as designed by the U.S. Constitution.
He listed what he described as Trump’s efforts to restrict voting by mail, obtain voter information from states and possibly deploy federal troops or agents to polling places.
“I don’t think that the president is trying to hide the ball on this,” Moore said. “It’s not even am I concerned about what the president could do? I’m concerned about what he’s already doing in broad daylight.”
Moore is set to become chair of the NGA, a bipartisan group focused on state governance.
