Democratic Governor Wes Moore has denied rumors of running for president in 2028, stating he will serve a full term as Maryland’s governor. During an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker, Moore addressed speculation about his political future, confirming he has no plans to pursue the presidency. “I’m going to be serving a full term. I’m excited about re-election,” Moore said, emphasizing his focus on advancing policies for Maryland residents.
The conversation followed recent scrutiny over Moore’s claims of receiving a Bronze Star medal during his military service. Federal records revealed he was awarded the honor in December 2023, despite previously asserting he had earned it 18 years earlier. This discrepancy has sparked criticism, with former President Donald Trump questioning Moore’s credibility. Trump cited reports alleging the governor falsely claimed the award and accused him of disrespecting the presidential office.
Moore’s remarks come as he continues to face questions about his leadership and military record. The governor highlighted his accomplishments during the interview but did not address the controversy directly.
