Wes Moore Wins Democratic Nomination for Second Term as Maryland Governor

Wes Moore won the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, defeating primary challenger Eric Felber and his running mate LaTrece Hawkins Lytes.
Moore's running mate for the general election is Lt. Gov. Aruna Miller, as candidates for governor and lieutenant governor run on the same ticket in Maryland.
Despite ruling out a presidential run in 2028, Moore remains a prominent figure in national Democratic politics.
