Moore turns Maryland experience into case for Democratic ticket in DNC speech

A dutiful surrogate for the Democratic presidential ticket, Gov. Wes Moore told the American people why he believes Kamala Harris should be the next president of the United States and used her role in a fresh Maryland tragedy to explain why. Moore’s key prime-time slot signals his notoriety and growing popularity within the party. The moment not only amplified his support of Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz but shined a national spotlight on him as a Democratic up-and-comer.
