Wes Moore doesn't need a base. Plenty of people in MD just vote straight D down the ballot, and even more will do that since Dan Cox got the nomination. Will Wes Moore be a good governor? Don't know, but anyone with a pulse should be better than Dan Cox. At least Glenn Youngkin tried to distance himself from Trump.

You know staffers wrote all that stuff, right? You basically just voted for someone who has a better campaign staff and web designer.

You know that like 90% of being governor is hiring good staff and communicating with the public and the legislature, don't you?

+1. I want someone who is smart enough and sensible enough to hire a good campaign staff and web designer. It’s amazing how many can’t even manage that.

You know CEOs don’t write much of anything either including their own emails?

He is a Rhode's scholar. He achieved that, not his staff, who he is in charge of. The man is intelligent.

Don't care.

COX is a NAZI there is no other explanation for his behavior and words. He wants Christian Nationalism. HELL NO.

If you vote for him count yourself as one too.

His plan is to raise taxes, Make women breeders, and kill your schools.
QAnon whack job” Cox sent a tweet calling Vice President Mike Pence a “traitor.” When he knew perfectly well there is no such thing as "fake electors".

He is a book banner, Liar and traitor to the US. That does not equal "my freedoms"




woo hoo, Betsey Devos coming to MD public schools.

COX is an election denier he is a liar as well. Bottom line if the race has fraud then the fraud is coming from him because the only fraud in 2020
Republicans voting for dead people FACT.

Did I say they're not? For me personally, however, climate is the most pressing issue for my vote.

Just make sure everyone you know in MD votes. We can't be complacent. A lot of people voted for Cox. Don't assume its a slam dunk.

I live in Baltimore and am happy about Moore. I think people wanted the prospect of something different. I know people make a big deal about Moore allowing a false narrative of his background to exist, but for me that's just not enough to condemn his character. Baltimore in particular needs Moore in office to make any progress.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

My understanding about Moore and the controversy over the veracity of his background is that he never explicitly lied, he just never corrected some untruths.

haven't read his book but apparently, he doesn't actually say he grew up in Baltimore but the way it is written it sounds like he said he did. Then, lots of people promoted that fact as well as him being a Gold Star winner (he wasn't), but he never corrected them.

Nope.

Please please tell me he can beat Cox. I'm so worried that moderates and progressives will get lazy, not show up and we'll end up with Cox as our governor.

He’s not and that was a major issue.

He’s lived in Baltimore for the past decade, and has a tremendous amount of support from the big donors in Baltimore.
