NEW YORK — Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) insists he’s focused on getting reelected this year and working to make Maryland, but that isn’t stopping some activists within the Democratic Party from urging him to run for president in 2028.

The hype was on full display at Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network convention in New York on Thursday. During a fireside chat, Sharpton cheekily asked Moore about running for president in 2028. Before the governor could fully answer, the crowd erupted in applause and cheers, with some even standing up to urge the governor to run.
