Maryland Governor Wes Moore Will Not Seek Democratic Presidential Nomination
Moore says he will focus on his work as governor
Moore was seen as a potential contender for the Democratic nomination
Maryland Governor Wes Moore said Sunday that he will not seek the Democratic nomination for president in 2024. Moore, who was elected in 2022, said that he will focus on his work as governor.
"I am honored and grateful for the encouragement I have received to run for president," Moore said in a statement. "However, I believe that my most important job right now is to serve the people of Maryland."
Moore, a Democrat, was seen as a potential contender for the Democratic nomination. He is a charismatic author, activist, and politician who has been praised for his work on issues such as education and criminal justice reform.
Moore's decision not to run for president is a blow to the Democratic Party, which is looking for a strong candidate to challenge President Donald Trump in 2024.
