Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland said
he is “very concerned” that President Donald Trump will wield the power of the
federal government to thwart the midterm elections this fall.
In an
interview as he becomes chair of the National Governors
Association, the
potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender ticked through what he said
were Trump's efforts to restrict voting by mail, obtain voter information from
states and possibly deploy federal troops or agents to polling places. Moore
said there was a role for the NGA, a bipartisan group, to ensure states are
able to oversee elections as designed by the U.S. Constitution.
“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.”
The
47-year-old governor's national profile is rising as he assumes the top
leadership post for the nation's governors on Saturday, a role once held by
Bill Clinton when he was governor of Arkansas. Moore is the subject of frequent
speculation that he will announce a presidential run, a prospect he rules out,
saying he will not “get distracted” before the November elections.
His
travel to early presidential testing grounds such as South Carolina and Nevada,
though, suggests he may run.
The
centerpiece of his agenda as NGA chair — a national program to build
communities and draw young people into the workforce through service-oriented
work — could be a pillar of a future campaign.
“Service
will save us as a society because I know service saved me,” he said, recalling
his time in the Army.
The “Service
United” campaign
opens with $10 million in philanthropic support to build on similar work Moore
has done in Maryland, including a $5 million expansion of an apprenticeship
program in the state announced this week.
“It's
an opportunity to help people with a career path,” said Bechara Choucair, the
executive vice president and chief health officer at Kaiser Permanente, which
is building a youth mental health corps with Service United.
Dame Louise Richardson,
the president of the Andrew Carnegie Foundation, which is supporting the program, said she hopes to
“see the day when you meet somebody, they don't just ask, ‘Where did you go to
college?’ but they ask, ‘Where did you do your service year?’”
The
contours of the initiative have drawn support from some Republicans, including
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, the outgoing NGA chair.
“One of
the things I like is the apprenticeship model and getting kids out of the
classroom and into more workforce learning,” Stitt said. “So I think that's
brilliant.”
But
that optimism masks the challenge facing Moore as he takes the helm of one of
the few remaining political groups that bring top Republicans and Democrats
together.
Even as
he spoke warmly of Moore's program, Stitt warned against anything resembling a
“big government program.”
Moore,
meanwhile, spoke of public frustration with the government’s response to
dramatic changes in the workforce, driven by advances in artificial
intelligence that could erode entry-level work that has long helped young
people start their careers. He said the White House has complicated the
dynamic.
“We
want to say that if a person goes on to a four-year college or chooses not to
go to a four-year college, they still need to have pathways to long-term wages
and wealth," Moore said. “What we have seen from the federal government
thus far has just been simply executive orders that have told the states to
stay out of it.”
Moore
has a challenging relationship with Trump, who sought to bar him and Gov. Jared
Polis, D-Colo., from a White House meeting organized by the NGA earlier this
year. The president relented after Stitt intervened.
When
asked about Trump, Moore noted his enjoyment at working with governors from
both parties before saying “the president of the United States seems to
consistently take an ideological view when it comes to securing the future of
this country."
The
White House did not comment on Moore's characterization.
But
Moore also is contending with divides among his fellow Democrats.
At home
in Maryland, where he is seeking reelection this fall, he has at times
struggled to win over Democrats in the legislature, which reconvenes next week
to consider a constitutional amendment on redistricting after an earlier effort
he backed fell short.
The
Democratic National Committee is in turmoil. A string of democratic socialists
has won primaries from New York City to Denver, prompting debate over whether
the party is moving too far to the left and threatening its potential victories
in the fall. Upcoming elections in Michigan and Wisconsin will further tug at
the divide.
Moore
did not take a firm stance with either of his party's ideological wings. He
batted away questions about democratic socialists potentially imperiling
Democratic wins, insisting it was up to voters to decide who their nominees
would be.
“Party
bosses shouldn't be determining who members of the party are,” he said, without
specifying whether he was referring to Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer
of New York as one of them. “The people should be the ones to have a final say
on that.”
At the
same time, Moore made clear that he did not support some of the left flank's
positions.
“I know
where I am on issues,” he said. “I don't believe in abolishing the police. I
don't believe in abolishing prisons. I don't believe in open borders.”
But
perhaps the biggest test for Moore will be navigating the management of this
year's elections without denting the bipartisan tone that typically defines the
NGA. He will be in the middle of Republicans who are calling for tougher rules,
particularly around voter identification and deadlines for mail ballots, and
fellow Democrats who warn of voter suppression.
Democratic
Gov. Josh Stein of North Carolina, who leads one of the most politically
competitive states that includes a marquee Senate race this fall, echoed
Moore's concerns about federal interference.
“I
don’t think you can be a clear-thinking person and not be concerned because all
the signals are very worrisome,” he said in an interview. “But that said, I
have confidence that if the voters come out in droves and vote the way that
they want to vote, that the government will represent their wishes.”
White
House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said that "if Democrats really cared
about securing our elections, they would pass the SAVE America Act,” referring
to a proof-of-citizenship voting bill that is stalled in the Senate.
Stitt
expressed confidence that states would hold elections without federal
intervention while noting his support for the voting bill. But he also rejected
federal intervention and said: "States should control their own
elections.”
Moore
said he used to associate states’ rights arguments with segregationists like
Bull Connor, the infamous public safety commissioner in Birmingham, Alabama,
who turned fire hoses and dogs on peaceful protesters during the Civil Rights
era.
Now,
Moore said, the Trump era has reshaped his views and reinforced “the importance
of having actually strong governors.”
Service from All, Opportunity for All
https://www.nga.org/service-united/
Roughly
5 million Americans between 16 and 24 are neither in school nor employed.
Structural workforce shortages persist in key sectors like health care,
education, energy, and infrastructure. The AI workforce transition will only
complicate the landscape, straining the nation’s outdated education models and
displacing workers across every level of the economy.
To
compound our problems, deep civic divides have severely weakened our social
structures. Communities are divided along political lines. Trust in
institutions is at an all-time low.
How can
we work together to overcome these challenges?
These
problems are not disconnected. They demand a common answer: everyone can serve.
Well-designed
service programs create three mutually reinforcing outcomes: they drive
community progress by deploying participants to meet real needs; they build
meaningful careers by connecting participants to skills, credentials, and
employers; and they forge bonds across differences by bringing a group of
diverse participants together. Done right, each of these outcomes strengthens
the others.
Service
is not make-work volunteering. It is a paid workforce and community development
strategy to put Americans to work and build the connections to strengthen
communities and careers while forging bonds across the differences that divide
us. Through rigorous skill building and job training, participants earn the
credentials and connections that lead to family-sustaining careers.
Under
the leadership of Governor Wes Moore,
the National Governors Association will launch its 2026–2027 chair’s
campaign, Service United, a transformative project to advance state-level
service programs. Within a decade, the goal is 1 million Americans engaged in
service annually.
“Service
does not have to be an occupation, but it needs to be a way of life – how we
move, how we maneuver, how we operate. It’s the debt that we pay back.”
